Hey guys. I have the preferences set to needing a password after coming back from screen saver. But I activate the screensaver, and when I come back from it, it doesn't ask me for a password. Anyone know whats up?

Well, for me it's just really really really slow at displaying the password prompt when coming back to the computer. Maybe your comp is just so slow to display the password prompt that you just think it doesn't ask you for a password?

Yes, it is very slow. Last time, I did the same thing and kept my computer on when I was a private in Churchill's squad. However, I was wounded in the war and lost my computer. I was so sad. I had been looking for it in my life afterwards. Thanks God, I came across it again by accident in a visit to British Museum this year. Surprisingly, it was on still. What made me excited more was that I saw a window popped up, saying:" Please enter your password".
