screen saver from log on screen

I have windows xp proffessional machines that are part of a 2003 network.
Previously, when the machines were at the logon screen the would invoke a log
on screen saver after being idle for some period of time. Recently, using a
gpo, I changed the user screen savers. Since then the logon screen saver is
never invoked frm the log on screen.. The user screen savers work fine. BTW,
I have changed the screen savers using gpo's before and this problem didn't
occur.

Any suggestions.

Is the .scr file you changed to available on the user's machine? Look over
everything you did carefully you probably missed something obvious.
