screen saver appears when turned off

Locked

by smsppt · about 20 years, 1 month ago

Environment is a Windows 2000 WAN, desktop is a Dell not sure of series but also Windows 2000. This user had a problem with his profile being corrupted which was then fixed about a month or so ago.

Our Admins are so worked out, its taking longer then ever to trouble shoot problems (believe me they do a good job but are now overworked).

Scenario
This desktop user has a problem with screensaver option popping up all the time even when turned off. He advised me that he noticed this problem after his profile was was generated (something to do with his roaming profile…)he has been experiencing different kinds of problems.
He would like to know ( I would too), how do you get rid of this problem?

  I would suggest firstly , using the MMC console (from the run line type mmc) add the Group Policy Snap in Local machine. Go to the administrive templates, tree, Control panel, Display. You will find the settings here. These settings will be overiding others. Unoless you have a group policy applied at the OU level or group level oif which he is a member.
