    Just today I've developed a new problem. I was ripping one of my DVDs to the hard drive with DVD Decrypter, and left the room to do other things. I came back a few minutes later, and a dialog box appeared on the screen that says "This workstation is in use and has been locked." I have to type my Administrator password (Windows 2000) to unlock it. The DVD is in excellent condition; I tried another, also like new, and the same thing happened. Each time, the DVD-ROM drive light stays on, so the process continues. Also, if I am actively using the computer, it doesn't happen. So somehow the workstation is locking itself automatically. Anyone know how this happens?

    Sounds like it might be a screen saver related problem.
