    I want to use the VeriSoft to enter the password to login after the screensaver password lock, but it doesn't seem to work; it just shows the regular windows classic password dialog. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on XP by the way.

    Nevermind, I figured it out.... it doesn't seem to like the XP Fast Switching Welcome screen. I didn't know I had to disable it. :\ If anyone knows if its still possible even with Fast Switching then let me know.

    I don't know what changed, but I'm having a problem with the fingerprint scanner to work during the screensaver password lock. The fingerprint scanner seems to be disabled then. Anyone else having this problem and know a solution?

    You need to have more than one user on the XP machine. Then, and only then, does the screensaver send you to the "Welcome logon" screen and not the "Unlock computer" screen. The fingerprint reader does not work with the latter. Good luck.
