Windows 7 32BIT system screen saver not locking the PC up after the alloted time
I am having an issue with a Windows 7 Computer. I setup the screen saver to lock the computer after 10 minutes and use the log on Windows to lock the computer. I can get it to lock the computer. I have tried 1 minute and it will not lock the computer up. I tried setting the computer lock by using Group Policy on a Windows 2008 SBS Server... the Group Policy is applied but the PC will not lock after the alloted time. Nelson Ehis

Hi, OK, please change a screen saver, then check0 "On resume, display logon screen" option. If it still doest not work, please try set it under Clean Boot or Safe Boot mode to eliminate the 3rd party causes.
