Is there a setting somewhere that this timing can be adjusted?

Re: My site times out to quickly

Version 1.3.9h has an industry standard timeout of ~15 minutes before session data is "removed". Logging in or placing items in the cart is associated with a session. Navigating to another page resets the session timeout. Regarding a logged in customer, items placed in the cart will be saved to that account to return to their cart upon logging in again.

What is it about your site that requires a customer to take so long?

Are you aware that version 1.5.5a has been released some 5+ years after your version was released? (though it would most likely require your php to be upgraded as well.) Upgrade instructions: http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-How-do-I-rebuild-my-site-on-the-new-version-instead-of-upgrading
