i have a homemade antec case with an ecs MB and amd x2 3800 cpu, 2gb 5300 memory and hitachi 250 gb HD. it has xp sp2 installed and has been running rather well. the machine has trend micro installed and on auto update; xp is also set on auto update. i use this box about once a week for a couple of days while i am at my mother's house to visit her and do chores. about a month ago, i started getting this "unlock computer" message to appear on the screen whenever i move the mouse and wake the monitor up. it is not a security issue, as i just punch OK and it goes to screen saver. it is just a pain in the caboose, as i don't want it or need it. it is my box and no one but myself and my wife use it. could an xp update have changed anything? has anyone else had this occur to their equipment? i know that certain questions cannot be answered in forums because of security issues, but this is not how to bypass the screen; only to see if someone else has had this problem. i really don't want to go back 3 months or so and restore to see if this fixes it, but......
