The first article is not the problem, I checked the registry key and
it's
correct.

I haven't cloned the systed drive (ever).

I'm not saying I can't login at all. I can definately login when I need
to.
It's just that after my screen saver has kicked in and I need to
reauthenticate myself, most of the time the system starts logging me
on, I
can see my desktop, and then wham, I'm back at the login screen. It
never
fails to login on the second try.

I really appreciate you help, and especially quick responses, but I
think
there's something flakey with the screen saver authentication. Are
there
any
problems you know of related to that?

Cheers, Eric

I should have read your first post in more detail. Look in the Event
Viewer
for any clues. The Event Viewer is located in the Administrative Tools
folder in the Control Panel (Classic View).

Does this happen in all the user accounts? Could you create a temporary
new
user account and see if the problem exist in this account??

Yes, I can see some login failures in the Security section of the event
viewer.

Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
Logon account: eric
Source Workstation: KOLOTYLUK
Error Code: 0xC000006A

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp

When I check out the events.asp link it says Event ID 680 is unknown. I
also
get

Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown user name or bad password
User Name: eric
Domain: KOLOTYLUK
Logon Type: 2
Logon Process: Advapi
Authentication Package: Negotiate
Workstation Name: KOLOTYLUK

and the events.asp link says Event ID 529 is unknown. I'm prety sure it
wasn't the password because I never got notified of a bad password.

My wife doesn't seem to have the same problem, but then she doesn't have a
password set on her account.


Do you have Service Pack 2 installed? I found this info but the KB article
states that this has been fixed in Service Pack 2.

Security Event 529 is logged for local user accounts
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811082

And the following KB article is for EventID 680 with an error code of
0xC000006A

Failure Events Are Logged When the Welcome Screen Is Enabled
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305822

Hope this helps you help, about the best I can do for you.
