Thankx man for your reply
but i still have the problem .. i have Windows XP Pro .. SFS is enabled ..
as it always been (and it was working before).
if u have the time , i can tell u what really happened !
i reinstalled windows .. and after i am done with the installation .. i
found out that the Windows XP Pro gave the name Administrator .. instead of
displaying my name in the Welcome screen or the Start menu . i tried to
change this name .. but i couldn't find the option to change the name like i
always did .. so i created another user account with the Admin authority ..
when i did so , the Adiministrator account disapeared .. and only my account
is visit .. i am happy !!
now , when i enable the screen saver password .. i found out something
strange !!
the Windows did not show me the Welcome screen to type my password !!
instead .. i saw the desktop background only .. and a windows in the middle
of the screen asking me for the password !! it's like i am working on Windows
2000 or something .. i am sure this has something to do with the problem i am
having.
we do not have a network admin at work .. it's a simple workplace .. we do
not have a Domian even .. we are working on a Workgroup system !
please help
thankx man
