When the screen saver is on with passwords turned on, I can only get the screen from the keyboard by clicking Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
Any other key or clicking the mouse shows the backgrounds, but doesn't give back the Start bar or the page to put in the password.
It's usable but your documentation says I can use any key or either mouse button.
Any ideas?

Does the same issue occur if you pick the standard Windows screen savers (i.e. Ribbons and Mystify)?

You are right. I was the Windows@Operating@System Screensaver
This was created for XP media center only and although it works, it's apparently no following Microsoft' rules.
Thanks for the help !!!
You make a great product. I will buy it.
By the way, with good screensavers, when the screen goes into power save mode, windows comes back with any mouse movement.
A suggestion on screensaver locations. in Windows 7 Screensavers can be in Windows, windows\system32 and windows\sysWOW64. You may want to search all of them to create your drop down list.
Thanks again,
Paul
Awesome, thanks for the follow-up!
Unfortunately the way our screen saver runs, it's not possible to have it turn off with mouse movement.
Good idea about having it automatically look in the sysWOW64 folder. I'll add that to our list.
Thanks!
Just a quick update, DisplayFusion now checks the sysWOW64 folder for screen savers.
Thanks!
