I have recently installed Panda Platinum to remove viruses from my computer.
This solved previous problems but now I have another one. I have 3 user
accounts on my home computer, which runs Windows XP. I have a problem with
my User Accounts. When I start windows it opens the welcome page and I can
switch between users no problem. The problem seems to occur when the
screensaver starts. When I move the mouse and it takes me back to the
welcome screen and I try to click on the user accounts it prompts me for a
password. There are no passwords for any of the accounts. I have checked
the accessibility for the screensaver and the prompt for password box is
unchecked. I have had to set the screensavers on all 3 accounts to 2 hours
just so we can use the computer hassle free. Can you tell me what is wrong
with my computer and how to fix the problem?

We’ll continue this discussion in the newsgroups for one week and our volunteer expert will select one or two questions each day and respond. Other experts and users online may also chime in with advice. At the end of the week, we hope to have a single thread filled with good information that can be preserved for the benefit of other users in the future.
