Hello

I have a problem in my computer (XP Pro) that if Im logged in as user A
and want to switch to user B using just switch user. I click on it, the
screen with the users appear, I click on the new user, put the
password, the screen goes blue and then instead of going to the new
user's desktop it goes back to the screen with the user list.

The only way to get to the new user's desktop is to log off the user
and then log in with the new one.

Any ideas,
/Dan

Might be a system with no service pack?

or
Too small a page file.

or
you might be seeing corrupt files:
To repair all system files, go to Start/Run, and type (or paste in): SFC /SCANNOW (see: Description of Windows XP and Windows Server
2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe): http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;310747 )

or
You are loading some corrupt driver.
start/run, type: devmgmt.msc
or: the event viewer might have some message about a driver
