Ok, mommy... ^^^

Anyway, I'm just taking a guess here (learning like you are) but I think your program doesn't work because it simulates computer activity, not user activity. Opening a window every x seconds is more similar to a system process than anything... what you probably want is to simulate an event, such as the user clicking a button or moving the mouse. The logoff feature probably checks to see if an event occured (like mouse movement or key clicks).
