| | [QUOTE=hexstar]If you mean the ones that close the windows you can't without a kiosk or some other special security application that keeps users from closing the application[/QUOTE] I think Scott was referring to the red boxes as picture placeholders that show up. I have the same problem. |
| | Hi, For some reason, I cannot tell the screensaver (any of them) to require a password. Am running SP2 on a MediaCenter PC. Cannot say for sure when this started. I know it was just within the past coupla days. It worked as it should after the SP2 update, so … |
