Solution presented here works:
BUT leaving computer unprotected without password is NOT a solution.
GS 7 (which I was using absolutely without ANY problem at all till last week) had NO PROBLEMS to function when screen was password protected. I don’t understand why the same functionality / solution can’t implement in GS9?
The workaround presented above is just that - a half baked workaround. Not a solution.
Leaving any computer un-protected for days when I am travelling but have auctions scheduled is not an acceptable solution when asking us to pay a monthly fee.
