screen saver password question
I set my screen saver so that it will ask for a password before resuming back
to my desktop; however, even though it said my screen saver password would be the same as my log in password, whenever I try it fails, and I need to shut down and reboot. Is there a reason it's doing this, and does anyone know how I can fix it? |

screen saver password question
I have never heard of or seen that. Try changing your password to see if
that makes a difference and make sure you do not have caps lock on. Also look in the security log via Event Viewer to see if any logon failures are recorded are recorded at the time you are attempting to unlock the computer and the failure eve may give more information on the reason. If you are using XP Pro you can use Local Security Policy to verify that auditing of logon events is enabled. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q248260 --- how to enable auditing and it applies to XP Pro also.
