Guest Mike H Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Apologies for this re-post but I didn't get an answer that solved the problem of being asked for a password after my screensaver has kicked in. To recap:- The screensaver i'm using "My Picture Slideshow" doesn't require a password. Screensaver setup "on resume password protect" is not checked. The "Prompt for password when computer resumes fron standby" on the advanced tab of power management is not checked. Despite this I am still being made to enter a password. Any further thoughts? Her's the link to the previous thread. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.general&mid=f1a7756a-a30d-4025-833c-64d35bd2395d&sloc=en-us Mike
Guest Bob I Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: XP Screensave password Try set to to require a password, apply, and then set it to NOT require a password. In other words toggle it through a full cycle. ON and back off again.

Guest Mike H Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: XP Screensave password Bob, Thanks but I've tried that, I've even tried changing the registry key for this from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0 to simulate this selection/deselection process.
