Re: Screensaver Weirdness

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

"Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby" is not checked and
in any case my problem isn't about resuming from standby. No offense to
Kelly but I don't go sticking stuff into my registry without knowing why and
"Lift Screen Saver Restrictions - Admin" doesn't mean much to me. Does he or
she explain somewhere what that registry edit does?

Peter,

Make sure that this one is not checked.

Open Power Options Properties...
Start | Run | Type: powercfg.cpl | Click OK |
Advanced tab | UNCheck:
Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby |
Click Apply | Click OK

Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby
[[Prompts you for your Windows password when you bring your computer out
of
standby.]]

"On resume password protect" is not checked. "On resume display Welcome
Screen" is not checked. Anyway, it's not the Welcome screen that I'm
seeing it's the "turn off computer" screen. Fast User Switchung is
turned
on, should I turn it off?

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
UNSelect the On resume, password protect check box.
If Fast User Switching is turned on, UNSelect the On resume, display
Welcome screen check box. | Click Apply | Click OK

On resume
[[Specifies whether the logon window is displayed when you resume using
the computer after the screen saver has started running. If logging on
requires a password, you will have to type the password when you resume
work.]]

When I tap the mouse to exit my screensaver I get the "turn off
computer" message (with the restart, turn off, standby buttons). If I
click "cancel" it goes away and all is well. How do I fix this?
