    Hi:

    I have a problem.

    Yesterday, I tried to use the screensaver password feature and it isn't working.

    I went to the control panel and the "Display" option and attempted to use my screensaver with the password protect feature it doesn't seem to be working. Would a virus prevent this from working??? How can I fix this?

    Please help!

    Hi fingers,

    Welcome to the Forums.

    Is this a work computer or home computer? Work computers can be blocked from using screensavers and the like through policies.

    What Operating System are you running?

    The Preview function won't do it...You need to let the screen saver kick in by itself.
