SafeGuard screen lock is slow in responding

My company just transitioned and I have a Windows 7 machine with the Sophos SafeGuard 5.60 Control-Alt-Del screen lock implementation and the speed leaves something to be desired.

When my screen is locked and I type Control-Alt-Del, it takes about 3-5 seconds before it responds with a prompt for my password.  When I lock the screen when leaving it for a while, I am used to jabbing the Control-Alt-Del and hitting the return key.  With SafeGuard, I have to wait for a second or more otherwise, I will leave my workstation with the “lock this computer”, etc prompt.

I am used to working with Windows-XP where the response was instantaneous for both.  On XP, I could type the required keys without thinking about it and get on to business.  Now I have to consciously pay attention to the prompts.  This is enough to where I am thinking of re-enabling the Windows screen lock.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Thanks,

/Bob
