Hi richard, when you say locked do you mean hung or disabled ?

Hi richard, when you say locked do you mean hung or disabled ?

i'm talking about the windows itself, do you have idea how can a vb program will know if your windows system was locked... it seems like pressing your CTRL-ALT+DEL keys... a Windows Security will pop-up.

Currently, i'm dealing with a biometrics system. if you remove the card, the windows will be locked. now for this case, how can a vb program will detect if card was removed?

You would need to give a bit more detail, on the hardware you are using, I suspect you may need to check your loops and possibly insert some doevents statements, but as I said more detail would be needed.
