'require password on wakeup' is reset by application

[SC]

I have turned off the 'require password on wakeup' option on my laptop
and Vista does not prompt me for a password after wakeup from sleep or
hibernation. That is until I run Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.0, after which
I have to enter my password on wakeup. I can manually switch off the
password prompt again, and have done so many times, but I really would
like to stop this automatic reset. PowerDVD does not have any options
regarding the wakeup password and I don't see any options in Vista
that would prevent an application from altering the power management
setup.

Does anyone else have a similar problem and/or a solution?

Hi,

Have you contact Cyberlink about this issue with their software yet?

That's a good idea, thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I
have the free OEM version of PowerDVD that that does not come with
support. I did check the publicly accessible FAQ's on the Cyberlink
website and they do not mention this particular problem.

I was hoping that someone else might have run into a similar problem
either with PowerDVD or another application and could help me out.

Hi,

I don't use that software, so there's not much I can tell you about it. I do
see that Cyberlink also has an updates page for users of Vista, you may want
to check to see if any apply to you:
