APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing 1.0

-



This article was previously published under Q79800



SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing environment, when the AfterDark screen saver application runs a password-protected screen saver on a pen-based computer that has no keyboard attached, it is not possible to regain control of the machine.

NOTE: The AfterDark screen saver application is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this products' performance or reliability.



CAUSE
Apparently, AfterDark installs a hook function and eliminates all mouse activity when it installs a password-protected screen saver; this disables pen input as well.
