Screen Saver GPO not working on dual monitor workstations

by dgarczynski . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

I currently have a GPO that will enable the screen saver and password protect it after 5 minutes. It works fine on computers, Windows XP SP3, with one monitor but does not invoke on workstations with dual monitors. I have checked the gpresult /v and the rsop.msc to make sure the GPO was being published on the workstations and made sure that the settings matched on the workstations that it does work. I am also unable to make any changes to the Screen Saver tab under Display Properties which means that it has invoked the GPO. I also checked the local Registry on both working and non-working workstations and they are the same:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
“ScreenSaverIsSecure”=”1”
“ScreenSaveTimeOut”=”300”
“ScreenSaveActive”=”1”
“SCRNSAVE.EXE”=”scrnsave.scr”

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
