Hi

My system has just decided to change itself.
When My system use to go into screen saver mode and was
password protected and you wanted to go back into the
system it use to show the welcome type screen, but now it
shows a unlock computer screen saying this computer is in
use and has been locked only the current user or
administrator can unlock this computer.
How can i change it back to welcome type screen, I am an
Administrator on the machine and i am the only one that
has an account

Wow, that's exactly the same thing I posted earlier, I
think there was a new hot fix that changed that (windows
update), because it looks like many people get this
problem all of a sudden.

Basicly you need more that 1 active account to get the
Welcome Screen. It used to be that if there were other
active accounts but invisible on the Welcome Screen - you
would get the Welcome Screen with just 1 account on it.
However now hidden accounts (some applications create
such accounts) do not cause that anymore. This is just my
theory. But what is certain is you need more than 1
account.
