  • Lost "Password Protect" in Screensaver !?

    Hi all,
    I just realized I lost this function in Screensaver. I mean it's supposed to display Password prompt when the computer is resumed from Screensaver. Now it does not work anymore.
    Strange thing is it happens on both of my computers.
    These two comps are not identical in Hardware but very similar in Software.
    Anyone has any idea ?

    WinXp? try the 'on resume show welcom screen.... if you have a pasword protected acount you should get the user list and will need the PW to enter your acount ... atleast i think thats how it works...

      Maybe it's the choice of screensaver?

        You're right Wombat. Changing to another screensaver and changing it back (Starfield) solves the problem. Damn Windows
