Multiplicity: Any Way to get CTRL-ALT-DEL to work on Vista64 secondary?

Primary: WinXP Pro SP3 32-bit, Secondary: Vista Enterprise 64-bit

A couple forum posts from late 2008 seemed to indicate that it wasn't possible back then. I tried CTRL-ALT-Backspace and the cursor changes to the arrow with the hourglass for a split second, but nothing happens. Unfortunately my secondary Vista64 machine goes into locked mode every 15 minutes (corporate machine). It'd be nice to unlock it without needing to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL on it's keyboard.

Primary: WinXP Pro SP3 32-bit

Secondary: Vista Enterprise 64-bit

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is possible your machine has software emulated ctrl-alt-del disabled as a group policy setting.

Also check that vistahelp.exe and vistahelp.manifest are in your Multiplicity folder.

vistahelp.exe and vistahelp.manifest are in the Multiplicity folder on both machines. I didn't see a Group Policy setting that referred to software emulation of ctrl-alt-del. Any idea where it might be?

It's not under Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Ctrl+Alt+Del Options
