First this can happen when the screen save comes up and you move to mouse or press a key to resume work. The other is in the power settings that after a certain period of time the system goes into stand-by mode, the upon resuming you're required to enter a password. Let's take the on one at a time. First right-click on a empty area of your desktop, then select Properties in the drop-down menu. Next click on the Screen saver tab. Here you can do one of two things, either disable the screen saver or clear the checkmark where is says "On resume, password protect". Next let's check the power settings. While you're at the Screen Saver tab, click on the Power... button. Next click on the Advanced tab, and clear the checkmark on the line that says "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby". -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3 |
