    SOLVED!!!

    How odd! LOL

    I found the following post here on this site and realized that I have a wireless mouse also like the author of this post.

    screen saver not working

    I followed his instructions (Last post on that page) to download new drivers for the Microsoft mouse....I installed it....tested both the screensaver w/ password on resume and also the Task Scheduler...

    They both worked perfect!!

    Who would've thought it was a mouse driver that could be causing the computer to not be seen as idle???

    Thanks sevenforums.com!!!

    Do you have a wireless mouse/keyboard? There have been many reports of them preventing sleep mode or screen saver startup. Usually installing a newer driver resolved the problem.

Today I was trying to log in to my computer after a restart. The computer booted and the screen with the Windows 7 Ultimate logo appeared. However, it does not have the username/password box, so I can't log in. The screen is also refreshing (turning black for a second and coming on again) but it is...
