tony-fr-si Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Problem: When two accounts are logged on, ADM & USER, and I elect to switch accounts - the system freezes with a BLUE SCREEN. All keys are frozen. To restart the system, I must keep the power startup button pressed down for a minute or more. Configuration: Windows XP/PRO Service Pack 2, 512 MBs RAM, 80 GBs Hard Drive. Software Running: Webroot SpySweeper, Webroot Window Washer, Norton 2005 Anti-Virus.Free Disk Space: 65 GBsThxs..... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony-fr-si Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Pwillener-To switch accounts on windows XP/PRO as follows:1) Click on the START tab.2) On the Popup window, click on the LOG OFF BUTTON.3) The log off button opens the Log Off Window which contains (2) buttons: a) log off: provides option for closing your programs window and logging off. b) Or leaving your programs running and switching to another user account.

tony-fr-si Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 pops-Your Question: Are you able to log off and then log on the other user account? Yes - only one account at a time.pwillener-It only happens with the (B) option, i,e,. when there are programs running in both accounts.

scuzzman Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Your fast-user switching is conflicting with one of your applications.My reccomendation would be (this might take awhile) is to open all those apps, close one and try it. If it blue-screens, do it again with a different one. If not, you've found the conflicting application... try reinstalling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
