I'm noticing that certain things in the Control Panel do not seem to take effect on the computer. UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the issue. For example, if I go into Power Options I tell the computer never to go to sleep and always have the monitor on, and dont ask for a password on wakeup. Well, the computer still locks every minute without use and turns off the monitor and then asks for a password when you wake it back up. Any suggestions?

Use the Vista instructions in this to reset to default the security settings.
How do I restore security settings to the default settings?
You can look at the Powercfg Command too.
