Screen Saver password
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? |
