Travel Technology - Windows XP login question

I have more than one user on my computer which is operating on Windows XP. We have a login page at startup to pick which identity to enter. Whenever the screensaver appears and we then hit any key or move the mouse we are back on the login page instead of on whatever program was running under the last identity that was open. I know that there is a setting in XP that keeps you on your current identity and cancels out this additional login process. Again, the problem only occurs when the screensaver starts.
Does anyone know where I can go to adjust this annoying recurrence?

Without actually trying anything, here is my guess:
Right-click on the desktop
Select "properties"
Click on the screen saver tab at the top of the dialog
Uncheck the "On resume, password protect" box in the middle of the dialog
If the box is already not checked, then you have some other problem.

If fast user switching is enabled, then that is where it will appear. Splash screen for user selection will be presented.
Otherwise, the setting is somewhere in the user settings, for requie login. But I think based on your post, you are using fast user switching and not the regular workstation or network login setup.
