Hello, I got this problem that every time I leave the pc it gets to the user screen and when I press on a user I need to enter a pass, the thing is that I never set a pass, I checked in user in CP and there is no pass on all accounts, even downloaded a prog to check and no pass.
So why its asking for a password everytime, the only thing I can do is restart and then it logs with no pass (but after I leave the pc it getting locked again).

Let us know if the screensaver being disabled solves your problem or not. Thanks.

Malware may be causing this.

Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

It doesn't look like an expert has responded yet. You should wait until someone assists you with your log. Of course, I could be wrong about malware being the problem. It's only a possibility.

If I understand correctly, you want to do away with the Welcome Screen. Download TweakUI and disable it.

Didnt really understand what do you mean, I got 3 users on the pc.. sometimes when one works on the pc and the other comes we dont want to log off the 1st one so we press "windows button"+L and switching users.

Now when I press "windows button"+L I can get into another user and can't get into my user 'cause all users are locked.
When I dont touch the pc it goes back to the users screen either >means it gets locked 2.


Now after I explained myself how exactly can I help myself with that program?

In the Control Panel, under user accounts, you do have Fast User switching enabled? You must have the "offline content" service disabled.
When I click "change the way users log on/off" I get two options: Use the Welcome Screen and enable Fast User Switching.
