Video Copy and Convert suspends when computer is locked

[Mark W]

I seem to remember this is/was a problem with 2009 as well.

 

You kick off a convert, and lock your computer by hitting the windows button (the flag) and the 'L' at the same time. This doesn't suspend the computer or put it in hibernation, rather is just locks your terminal so that rouge 3yr olds can't wreck havoc on your PC when you've stepped away.

 

When I come back an hour later to check the status, nothing has completed, and it picks up where it left off.

 

Is this normal? Remember locking your terminal when you step away is what good little boys and girls are told to do now days.

 

Thoughts?

Use Drag & Drop Convert?

 

Use VideoWave?

 

Try them out and let us know what happens with them???

 

To your last 'question':

 

If it is your HOME PC, I think you should be able to control your clan???

 

If it is a WORK PC, is the process actually work related?

 

Edit: Here is a laugh for you Mark!

 

I was going to try it, and clicked Restart by mistake… Win7, no second chances it will restart come Hell or High Water!
