your probably catching the corner bead at the edge of the sheet rock. its usually pretty soft metal. take a small nail and GENTLY punch a hole in it

I don't think that's his issue. He said the screw goes in halfway. That corner bead is right at the surface.

Someone also suggested protection for wires, but I highly doubt they rain wires adjacent to a window.

There are really several variables at play depending on exactly where he is trying to put the screws. If it is near the corner, there are possibly corrugated joint fasteners that he's hitting. Also, what time of windows are we talking about? Wood? Vinyl? Fiberglass?
