Delay after unlocking system

When I unlock the console, the screen goes completely blank(the blue
background color fills the screen) for exactly sixty seconds, then the task
bar and desktop icons appear as expected.

During this time, a ctrl-alt-del does nothing (although at the end of the 60
seconds, the expected task-man dialog appears). The mouse pointer is
present, and moves around. Clicking does nothing.

Any ideas? This server didn't used to do this. It started about a month
ago, and I can't think of anything that changed. The dev server with the
same config/software/etc. does not do this.

Thanks,

JM
 
If you come across a solution, please be sure to post it or e-mail me. We
have a similar situation with one server running W2K and Exchange 5.5
 
Are you still having this problem?

If so, what has changed on this box since the symptoms started? e.g. was a
new application installed on it? Was an update of some sort applied, etc.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, we didn't ask that question when the problem began to occur.
I think we ignored it long enough to have now forgotten how long it has been
happening. I would guess about three months ago, and we install updates
every month.
