Guest Robert Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Hi all, I just started experiencing a problem I've never had before in XP. I bought a new hard drive, installed XP, and now when my aquarium screensaver kicks in after so many minutes, when I come back to close the screensaver, and want to use the computer again, the screensaver closes, but now for some reason my computer has gone back to the XP logon screen, where I have to select either my administrator account or limited account, and enter the appropriate password, to get back to the screen I was working on before the screensaver started up. I never had this issue in the past with XP. Anyone know what's kicking XP back to the logon screen whenever my screensaver kicks in? I can't find any settings to turn this situation off? Thanks for any support in advance. Robert 07/07/07 11:44pm PST

Thanks. Since there is no other checkbox regarding that tab, the OP should have found that option anyway. ;) -- d-d
Guest Robert Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Re: Log On Screen and screensaver Thanks Dedlev Dreyer, Classic case of having gone to that setting page a million times, and have always rushed into the screen saver settings options, never looking at what was right there in front of me staring me in the face, "return to welcome screen at resume". You saved the day, I owe you a cold one if that's your fancy.
