I did indeed install the .NET framework and, no, I don't need it that I know
of. Apparently, it sets up a new account (I don't know why because I
haven't investigated the program) and that changed the screen saver
situation and checked a "welcome screen" option. By removing the .NET, it
seems to have gone back to the password protect option of before. With no
check there, the problem seems to be over.
Thanks for the help from everybody,
Steve
