After about 5 minutes of non-use, my computer brings up a
blue screen asking me to select the proper system
administrator. There is only one listed which is myself.
It is not until I select it that I am able to enter back
to my desktop, email etc.
How do I get rid of this screen?

In control panel adjust the screen saver settings.

Power save options and behavior on resume ?
Is it just a box asking for account selection and also password ?
(like the one when one alt-cntrl-del at password protected screen
saver) ?
If not, are you certain your system has not been re-engineered to
capture your login info ?

Under power save options the "password upon startup" box
is not checked.
Any other ideas?
