Screen Saver password does not function..

#1 January 13th 05, 06:23 AM

Can't get screen saver password protection to work. Check is applied to
"password protected" and a MS windows screen saver is selected...however when
the screen saver starts and the mouse is moved there is no protection. The
screen saver closes and full access to the desktop is available. There should
be a password required to close screeen saver.

What is the problem?

I believe that in order to use this function, you need to log on to
Windows with a password. That is the password that is requested.

Do you currently have to enter a password when you log on to Windows?
