Hi,
Just a thought. Please see if the Fast user switching is turned on. If
it
s turned on. Please turn off. Restart the system manually and then turn on
the Fast User Switching.
Maybe when you switch, is there a blue screen with message when the system
reboots.
Prevent system from restarting
==========================
1. My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab
2. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings button
3. Uncheck "Automatically restart"
Now try to switch the user and if the system restarts, you might get a
blue
screen. Please post what the blue message. If no blue screen, proceed
with
the methods as follows:
Method 1:
=========
Fast user switching is dependent on 2 services namely "Terminal Services"
and "Fast User Switching Compatibility". Please proceed as follows:
1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type "services.msc" (without quotes)
3. See if the services "Terminal Services" and "Fast User Switching
Compatibility" is started. If the service is not started, please set the
startup type to "Automatic"
Method 2:
=========
This is a registry fix for FSU to work properly.
Please copy the lines to a text editor like notepad and save the file as
FSUFIX.reg. Then double click the file.

- - Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2004 18:03:56 -0700

- - My xp computer is suddenly acting strange in the fact
- - that when either myself or my wife go to log off each
- - others accounts the computer gets to a point of logging
- - one side off and then instead of going to the welcome
- - screen to shut down ...it simply shows whichever desktop
- - photo of whichever side you are logging off from and
- - nothing else therefore there are now no buttons or any
- - tabs to hit to log off...All you can do is a hard
- - shutdown of the system and restart to get back on ...It
- - does not matter whether one person is logged on or both
- - with fast user switching enabled .. I know this is a long
- - drawn out question but it is kind off baffling at best...
- -
- - Running xp home,,Norton security and antivirus,,all
- - windows updates including sp2 installed...Webroot's spy
- - sweeper.. Intel 2.8 with hyperthreading ...1 gig of
- - ram..intel 865perl motherboard....
- -
- - Any help would be as always appreciated
