I have Win XP Home. The first user who logs in has no problem. When the
second user attempts to log in by clicking on their icon on the Welcome
Screen (the first user is still logged on), the screen clears and the login
introductory tune begins to play as expected. Suddenly, after 1-2 seconds,
the user is returned to the Welcome screen. This will happen again on the
second attempt to login, but normal login occurs after the third attempt.

Why would a login be aborted after 2 seconds?? This is really strange. We've
used this computer for 3 months with no problems. No viruses or spyware has
been detected.

Have you been playing with your pagefile size?

OK

If the pagefile is too small it can cause problems with fast user switching.
The pagefile should really be set to "system managed" when using fast user
switching. This allows it to grow to whatever size it needs to be.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the article says that it applies to
"restricted" users logging on. All users on my computer have administrator
privileges.
