All, Sorry if this that appeared before... This is only a preliminary assessment of the problem, I don't have time to investigate further at the moment so I thought i'd pass it out to let someone how may have time play a little. OS : Windows 98 Patches : All except the virtual machine update Screensaver : Scrolling Marquee Problem : I have a open dos box running a copy of dos edit (focus under Windows is placed on this), when I come back and type in the password the screen saver password box does not pop up after the first key press to accept this password (strange yes, but by which time I had typed the password). I moved the mouse the box popped up, typed in my password and all was fine (or so I thought). Instead I looked in the DOS window and what did I see? my screensaver password which I had typed the first time. Strange but true... seems to be a problem with the way Windows executes the screensaver, it does not seem to take the focus away from the DOS sessions for some reason.
