XP Windows boot logon denies access if screen saver activated
Dual boot system with Vista 64 and XP Pro (both systems includes all current security updates). If I boot to XP but don't come back to actually logon before the screen saver activates then the logon behavior changes to say that only an Admin can logon. I would think that wouldn't be a problem as I'm the only user and am the Admin as well. However, my User account as well as Admin account don't work. The system won't accept accept either valid login. The screen saver option settings are 'Blank' with 'On resume, password protect' checked. I've tried to set a password thru the screen saver settings but the system informs me that there are no options to set.What gives?1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi Tocguy001, 1. From when are you facing this issue?2. Does this issue occur when you boot into Vista operating system? To troubleshoot this issue, In the Windows XP operating system, click to select the On resume, password protect check box, and then click to clear the On resume, password protect check box.Regards,Manjit Kaur – Microsoft Support
