PRB: Pen-Based Computer Unavailable While Running AfterDark (79800)
The information in this article 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.
