    Log-in Screen stays on "Looking for you..."


    Recently, my login screen has been stuck on "looking for you..." The "eye" remains animated and never stops, no matter how long I wait. Previously, the Log-in screen will do the "looking for you..." sequence, and after about 10-20 seconds, it will stop and ask for a password or pin.

    What's going on... and how do I fix this?

    :)

  2. Staying logged on

    Thank you - that seems to have solved my problem. (But why could I not have been told this in the first place (rather than requiring me to look for "lower right hand corner select Screen Saver" direct from the Personalisation screen?!(
