(Running XP Pro sp3 on Gateway Laptop, 64bit AMD processor, 32 bit windows.)
Having trouble switching user accounts (logging off goes somewhat smoother but
has intermittent problems.
So I go into User Accounts->Change the way users Log on or off
and I check the Allow fast switching and also check Use Welcome screen, since
they are not checked. However I then get a msg that says
Automation Server Can't Create
and the previous checks do not hold. Obviously I must not have something loaded ?
Appreciate any help.

Use the .vbs script available for download on this page:

You might have some third party tool installed to monitor Wireless
connection rather than using Windows Zero Configuration tool and Monitoring
tool.

Please confirm whether you have any third party wireless tool installed. I
am not talking about drivers but the tool itself that allows you to view
"Available Wireless Connections".

Yes I do have a broadcom wireless utility. It works good, but I have suspected
it for other problems and tried in the past to uninstall it but it seems impossible.
On reboot it reinstalls itself without my input. And more than once I have tried
to install the Windows Zero Config tool in the control panel and it gets to the
point where it says it may not be able to install on some hardwire configs and
then it just stops.
Am I missing something ?

Thank you ! This script actually worked and fixed it perfectly. I was sceptical
since I had already found and ran some regsvr32 bla bla files that did not fix it.
Ramesh also has a lot of other good stuff at his site.

Glad it worked for you.

I saw you were discussing your wireless config utility in this thread,
and could not imagine what it would have to do with your posted problem.
However if you're looking to replace the 3rd party wireless utility with
Windows Native utility, it must be either uninstalled or disabled. If
you cannot find a way to disable it in the program, and there is no
listing in Add or Remove Programs to uninstall it, contact the provider
of the utility for instructions.

Yes, Ramesh has a lot of fixes and tips on his site.....it's always a
good site to check.
