My windows XP cannot switch between users. The only way it can do is log
off. Do you have any idea to solve it?

That's how it works.. log off one user and log onto another user..

That's two concepts:
switch user: two account can be active at same time.
log off: only one account is active at a time.

Fast user switching has to be turned on. I'm not at my XP machine
right now but so I can't tell you the exact keystrokes
if you search on fast user switching in Help and
support it should tell you what you want to know.

Question: The selection to enable Fast User Switching will not stay. As
soon as I select it, Apply Options and return to it, the selection is
removed? Any ideas?? Thanks!
