Why is windows XP doing this :( ? ??
gavkiwi:
soo, got a little problem, and it just started and I dont know why :timebomb:
here's the deal....
if my computer is left untouched for 2hrs, a power saver comes on, so to wake up the computer I move the mouse, the computer wakes up, no problem....
but HERE is the problem, lately, since the weekend, when I 'wake' my computer up, my pc is at that blue 'log in' screen where you choose what userusername you want to log in as or use.
And it ask's for a password, I NEVER SET UP A PASSWORD, why is windows tormenting me like this, I Have to reboot to get rid of the pwd deal, no problem, it fixes itself until it goes into power save mode again.
I dont mind the PC being in Power saver mode, but this password deal is driving me crazy :timebomb: :timebomb:
Any help would be appreciated, oh PC is a 3 week old HP running XP....no real issues unitl this dealio

1. Right click on your Desktop
2. Select Properties
3. Select the Screen Saver Tab
4. Uncheck the box that says "On resume, password protect"

:applaud: Okay, I figured out what was wrong, I had made some adj to settings in admin tools under the CP to run some of my games faster, I guess it made that part of windows a little unstable, undid the changes Ive made, and all is well :censored: for now :cheers:

As an IT person.... this is the most difficult portion of my job. Someone will give me a full description of what happen, but fail to leave out a crucial detail (like they were adjusting admin tools).
User error happens!

I always ask the user, "Whats was the last thing they were doing" usually you can backtrack from there.
