Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

every time i try to log on windows xp when somebody is already logged on my
computer freezes. i have already defraged, checkedr for errrors, viruses, and
spyware. i dont know what else to do. i have no problem logging in when no
one is logged on just when other accounts are logged on.

in. i have run disk cleanup and removed temp. internet files. not sure of how

i have a 2.8ghz pentium 4 processor and 512 mb of ram and i was able to log
on with other users for about a year until this last week when i click on my
account and type in my password i starts like it is going to log on but it
just stops. where it would usually say loading user preferences it is just
blank

i'm sorry that i have been so unclear btu i am using fast switching and i
have xp home edition not pro. you are exactly right about what is happening
to me. i read the article but it didnt really help me at all. every time i
try to access the user accounts i get this message "automation server can't
create oblect," this may be what is wrong but i am not sure
