Jesse, You don't say much about your system, is it a laptop?
The choices you saw "ease of access, etc.) are in the login dialog, so it sound to me like your pc is either set to have a passworded screen saver, or, it had performed an update over-night and had automatically rebooted itself when it was done. My new laptop from Dell was doing this a lot, and I think I tried a dozen different things before I finally got it to quit. I'm sorry I can't remember which option solved this, if it's a brand new pc you might try calling the maker for support, or try googling this on the internet. I think I had to find my network interface cards in the device manager, and find options which allowed them to wake up the pc, and disable them. If you don't want to mess with trying to disable this, then just plug headphones into the speakers when you leave the pc for the evening, or turn off the speakers, etc. Hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Jesse delMuro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 4:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: a strange wake-up call: has this happened to anyone else? Hi on this early Sunday. So I'm out finally resting and I hear a very strange ding sound and, not knowing what it is, I check around but no desktop. What emerges are things like switch users or ease of access buttons if you tab. When I selected my profile, it dinged again but no prompting that I know of was needed to set this off. Win7 64 byt and Win-Eyes 8.1 so I'm not sure its a win-eyes thing persay but this being a first, not sure what to make of it. Its as strange now as the ceremonies at Fendway Park in Boston were moving and spot-on and this coming from a Yankees fan. A strange way to start this early Sunday for sure.
