Win XP-Can't use screen saver w/o login & password

Guest

I have a PC running Windows XP and I want to set up one of the screen savers.
Every time the screen saver kicks in I have to login with my password to
resume working. It doesn't matter which screen saver I use. They all do this.

When I set up a screen saver in the "Display Properties" box I can see that
there is a check-box marked: "On resume, password protect." It has a check
mark in it but the box is "grayed-out" so I can't turn it off. Is there a way
to get this check-box highlighted so I can turn this feature off?

Thanks,
Dave

Rich,
Thanks for your help. I know about the "On resume, password protect" box.
The problem is that this box is "grayed-out" and it won't let me turn it off.
I was wondering if there is another setting that controls access to this
setting.

Thanks,
- Dave
