Please help, XP-Pro...Can no longer switch users!

[DaveR]

This used to work well, but all of a sudden if I switch users on my XP-Pro system, I get the welcome screen as expected. When I click another user, the screen goes black with an arrow cursor and has to be powered down to go any further.

Anyone know what broke? It used to work just fine!

Wow...that's tricky. Have you tried a system restore to an earlier time or unstalling a couple of your most recently installed programs? Could be a compatability problem of some kind.

Well, I did make my XP system share the whole hard drive. I may go back to simple file sharing and remove extra workgroup stuff. I wish I could say exactly when it stopped working!
