SWITCH USER FREEZES PC

[zahid]

Hi,

I have a XP PRO SP2 BRAND NEW PC.

If I try switching users the PC freezes. :x

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Does it freeze on log out too? If so then there is probably something in memory that won't release.

Try turning off user switching then turning it back on.

If the problem persists then see what programs are loaded. When the system switches to a 2nd user it runs duplicate copies of some applications and sometimes those apps don't run properly in duplicate and cause probs.

is the fast user switching compatability service set to automatic and in a started state in services.msc? if not do it, that's what the purpose of that service is

but like woshitudou mentioned, it just might be one application or background service having issues, so login, don't start any applications, switch the user, see if you still have the issue while trying to narrow down which app. / process it might be
