I have recently installed Service Pack 2 on my Windows Server 2008 machine (which I use actively for development, and i'm always logged on to).

"Check the group policy for your account.

type gpedit.msc into the start search box and hit enter
navigate to User configuration -> Administrative templates -> control panel -> display
Change screen saver to disabled, and screen saver timeout to a high value just in case."

"Even better than another answer: in the same area under (microsoft server), select disable the cntl alt del requirement for login. Then set time out to 99999 to be safe.

""In gpedit, navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> Microsoft network server: Amount of idle time required before suspending a session""

Then reset the timeout to the desired value in minutes."
