On Wednesday we sent out a new Win7 image to the last of our computers we are moving from XP. This new image has been customized with a background of our building as the login screen and has a default screensaver with our name just wobbling across the screen. On Friday I had a guy come into the office and said that the computer was not working. The login box was no longer there. Since it was very slow and it was just a few feet from the office door, I went to take a look, expecting to see that he was confused about the new log-on screen of Win7. Imagine my surpise when I got to the computer and realized that what he was talking about was the screensaver. The machine was logged on already but the screensaver had kicked in. I guess that the name of the company wobbling back in forth in silver on a black background must have confused him into thinking that the machine was turned off.

I love how the problem is always “It’s not working.”
Thanks for the helpful, descriptive information! I’ll get right on that!
Wow, genius material there. It’s hard to believe that even the older generations wouldn’t understand a screensaver since they’ve been around for close to 2 decades!
