I have a wierd problem at work. when i shut down or
restart my computer my screensaver works fine. But after a
while it stops working. I need it to work because i need
to have my screen lock if i walk away without locking it.
Does any one have any idea why this might be happening?

It could be due to any driver or application running on the computer. It
takes time and patience to track down which one(s). And if it's a driver it
can be extra tricky to track down. Suggestion: Try pressing Windows Key +
L. It's a quick keyboard shortcut that locks the workstation.
