94437 2002-10-30 02:03:00 I got XP(HE) OS. Im the only one using my XP. But the problem here is when I tick the box on password on my screensaver how come is not enable or not working? If you know what I mean? So is there a step to this? shockwave (1089)
94438 2002-10-30 02:09:00 I don't think the screensaver can use a password unless you have a password. You probably haven't got a "user" account, and are being the "Administrator", without a password. This is probably be a Bad Idea if you are connecting this computer to the Internet. Graham L (2)
94439 2002-10-30 02:31:00 Did I mention that Im the admin of this computer. shockwave (1089)
94440 2002-10-30 02:32:00 You'll need to set yourself up with a password for the login in the first place, and prefferably a new USER account, even with Admini rights. Chilling_Silence (9)
94441 2002-10-30 02:38:00 I did that.
But no effects.

94442 2002-10-30 02:43:00 AFAIK (I dont use XP) It uses the Login password and username, so you have to make sure that its not automatically logging you in, and that you have a password that's not blank. Chilling_Silence (9)
94443 2002-10-30 02:55:00 Shockwave,


Ok so you got a username / password setup for WinXP HE.
You've set a screensaver and you've got a time wait and selected the On resume, password protect check box or if Fast User Switching is turned on, selected the On resume, display Welcome screen check box. But it's not working?

How are you testing this... if you are testing by manually starting the screensaver this will NOT work under XP HE.

Wait the timeout value and check that it works.
