Sometimes when I switch users or logoff/logon from 1 user to another, my
computer freezes at the logon screen, or freezes with the desktop open but
none of my icons or taskbar.

I have to turn off the computer and turn it back on to get past the problem.

What causes this problem and how do I fix it?
 
Brian, I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your problem because I have the
same situation. When I switch from "main" user (leaving it open) to another
user (log on), everything is fine, but when I log off on the second user to
go back to the "main" user my computer either freezes or shuts down.
 
I am having the same problem on 3 or 4 computers that I work on. Maybe the
secret is to logoff each user rather than switching?

Maybe someone will give us both an answer.
 
I'm having the same problem occasionally. It usually occurs when logging
off. Since my system is still under warranty, I talked to the manufacturer
technician. He mentioned that XP may have a glitch that causes lockup if more
that one user is logged in as an administrator.
