SYMPTOMS
If you specify a screen saver password that contains more than 14
characters, one of the following symptoms may occur:
- If the password contains 15 to 19 characters, the Windows Screen Saver
dialog box does not appear when you try to stop the screen saver.
As a result, you can stop the screen saver without typing the screen
saver password.
- If the password contains more than 19 characters, your computer stops
responding (hangs), or you receive the following error message when you
try to set the screen saver password:
MPREXE caused an invalid page fault in module
MPRSERV.DLL at <address>.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the screen saver password is copied into an
improperly sized internal buffer. If this occurs, internal status code
values and values that are currently stored in memory may be damaged,
leading to the symptoms described earlier.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
