Hello ron65729;

Explain 'refresh windows' - it's not a term I understand.

Maybe you have power efficiency mode turned on? Turns off your display after 10 seconds. You can change all of that within power settings by typing in power on windows 7 search menu.

could be power saving settings or a screensaver.
