Win 2000 screen saver keeps disabling

[Rediranch]

Windows 2000 on this PC (SP4) keeps resetting the screen saver back to NONE whenever the user logs off or resets the PC.

Anyone know a fix? I've searched MS and havent found the issue yet.

Local or group policy maybe?

i was thinking the same thing. you can either create a local or group policy, or if you are in a domain, check if someone has already set a policy which overrides the screensaver setting.

I setup the OS a while back, and no one in the office knows how to setup policies, so no one has an overriding policy.

I solved it by setting up a group policy that requires the screen saver, but still dont know what caused original issue.

If anyone reading this (even a while later) has run into this and solved it otherwise, please post.
