Fast User Switching

[bbford]

Hello,

Todays problem,

I cannot get Fast User Switching to work on a single pc with 3 users.

In the "user accounts" settings, I enable "Fast User Switching" by clicking
on the checkbox, however, the checkbox unchecks itself.

Even after the checkbox disables itself, I checked the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Dword = 1

This shows Fast User Switching is enabled!

Also, when I log off, the menu box appears, which gives me the option of
"logging off" or "fast user switching". When I click on "fast user
switching", nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

What else is going on? No logon errors: msgina, netware,
pcanywhere......if not:

Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc
Scroll down to Terminal Services and make sure it is Started.

A possibility. Check the Services module [Start | All Programs |
Administrative Tools | Services], right click on the Fast User Switching
service and see if it is set to Automatic.

Is Terminal Services running in your service section?
