That makes it sound like perhaps it is something weird happening with
the keyboard.
Maybe something like CONTROL key from CONTROL+ALT+DELETE 'sticking' or
seeming to stick from Pivot's perspective.

OK, so maybe the screen locking part is a red herring and it is more
to do with CTRL+ALT+DEL handling?
Are you are using a non-virtualised XP installation?
ie, a normal install of XP on a PC rather than an installation into a
virtual machine of some kind.

Great, that gives us something to compare against.
Any chance that you could try with Chrome or Opera or another other browser?

That makes me think it is even more likely to be something keyboard related.
