Hello Lori,
OK, there are several ways to get to the Display properties.
If you have the Windows XP start menu, meaning that you have the "My
Documents" and "My Computer" icons in the start menu, first open start
menu, then simply press the letter C until you hear "Control Panel."
Press enter on that, and then press "D" until you hear "Display."
Press enter on that and you will be at the "Display" properties page.
If you have the classic start menu, then open start menu, press "S" for
"Settings," press enter to open that, and then enter again on "Control Panel."
Press "D" for "Display" and enter to open it.
You can also get to the "Display" page from the desktop.
Go to the desktop, make sure Window-Eyes says "no selected item."
If any icon is selected, press control-space to unselect that.
Next, press shift-F10, then arrow up once and you should hear "properties."
Press enter on that.
Use control-shift-T to read the title bar to make sure it says "display
properties."
Follow the steps I had outlined yesterday to uncheck the password protect
check box and hopefully that will take care of your problem.

Hi Lori,
In Windows XP, when you bring a system out of screen saver, it prompts you
for the password to log-in again.
Window-Eyes will not speak because it is built to remove itself when the
system logs off.
Please try the following:
1. go to the control panel
2. open the "display" properties page
3. navigate to the screen saver tab page
4. look for and uncheck the box that says "on resume, password protect."
Please let me know if this helps.

Hi, Everyone,
We have a Linova laptop computer which is running Window Eyes and which
has recently been repaired. When we leave the computer for a while without
pressing any keys, we hear a tone, the speech stops, and pressing a key
does not reactivate the system. Normally, I understand that when a
screensaver comes up it is just necessary to press a key to get the speech
back. Does this sound like a screen saver issue; if so is there something
we need to deactivate? If not, does anyone have another diagnosis? It is
necessary to push the button to turn off the computer and reboot it again.
The computer is plugged in, so it is not a battery problem.
At the moment, we do not have someone to read our screen but thought we
might be able to get an answer to this problem without waiting for that
assistance. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
