Screensaver is set to kick in after 20 minutes of inactivity, with password protection. When I enter my password to resume my session, my password is not accepted. I wind up restarting and entering the (same) password.What do I need to fix, reinstall or whatever to set this right?4 people need an answerI do too

I found that when I try to reenter the userid the text is garbled with no specific pattern. This is XP Pro SP3 on a workgroup - no domain

Some more info. I found that I can logon to the affected computer with remote desktop connect using that very same userid and password. this makes me think it is something to do with the screen saver, I have been using the windows XP screensaver but will try swithcing to a different one

Hi lck4629,Let me try to help you but you I need to ask a few questions first.1. What was the last thing you did before the problem happened?2 Did you install any application program prior to this problem?3. Is that the only unusual behavior of your computer?

Turn off your computer then press F8 keep doing it when you see a black screen it will tell you to go in to safe mode push that one puss enter again and then it will give you some codes just egnore the codes then when you have your login screen push "Ctrl and Alt"

I'm not sure what Cody was asking me to do (go in to safe mode push that one puss enter again and then it will give you some codes just egnore the codes then when you have your login screen) I know I can reboot and logon, I'm more concerned about why this is happening I changed the screen saver from Windows XP to 3D Flying Objects and I haven't had the problem since.
