Hi!
I am using windows xp pro SP2, with all windows updates made.
I also use Kaspersky as antivirus and sygate as firewall.
Everything was working fine until i decided to apply Safexp
(http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm) on my computer. I selected a lot of
options to increase my computer security and privacy. A lot of options
worked fine and i also noticed a lot of speed improvements.

But..
I am a massive user of fast user switching utility of windows XP. It stoped
working.

1)I lost windows key+L function(it started to block my computer insted going
to welcome screen)

2)On Task manager(control+alt+delete) on tab "process" there is no
respective user to process, it is blank (only inactive process have
"system"), on tab "users" no user is logged in.

So, i decided to look arround and i checked that "use fast user switching"
was disabled on Control panel. I try to enable it but it doesn't worked.

I applyed "Secure Desktop undo" and "Restore Fast User Switching" of
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm i a got back my windows key+L
function, welcome screen back and teh option of control painel checked.

I was happy until that when i try to have 2 (or more) users logged on at
same time Welcome Screen loops when trying to log on. I can only have a user
at once.

I already contacted Safexp forum and technical support, but no answers.

Please, i really need help and (re)format is out of question.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks for all and sorry bad english.

Your English is just fine, but unfortunately your problems have been
caused by installing this third-party software Safexp. Uninstall Safexp
and hope that puts everything back the way it should be, or do a System
Restore to before you installed the program.

already tried that (system restore)
I am looking for some defaul windows services restorer or some registry
desfault file...
something like that..

=(
 
Have you uninstalled it from Add/Remove?

Have you tried a "Repair" install on your box?.

No, because i'm afraid of losing all documents and create many conflicts.
After reading a litle bit i know that is possible to repair without losing
everything, but is always a very risky operation, isn't it?
 
Repair install just repairs Windows OS files. It shouldn't disturb your My
Documents, etc. That said...it's always best to back up your documents,
etc. If you've got a CD burner then I would back up now. If you're using
EFS, decrypt first before backing up or transferring files. If on a LAN,
you can transfer files to another computer. See Michael Stevens page on
this:
