On Windows 7, computer goes to LOG OFF screen after about 2 minutes, no matter what program is running. Desktop shows for 2 minutes, the goes to LOG OFF

I updated Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows 7.  From the beginning the screen would go from plain old DESKTOP to the Log Off screen  after 1 or 2 minutes.  Computer does not shut down; nor do I Have to reboot, BUT I have to hit the LOG ON button.  Annoying.
