    Hi Guys,

    Need some help over here.

    I am having a problem with my Windows XP. When I login to 1 User Account and I try to do a Switch User to another user account, the screen where I get to choose the rest of the user accounts does not allow me to go into the new user account.

    Does anyone know why?

    Is it that the cursor does not show up in the password field?

    Nope I did not set a password for it.

    When I click on the user, it switches to a blue screen (like it is logging in) and then back to the user page again.

    Do you have fast user switching enabled? This needs to be running in order to switch between users.

    I know that this can happen if you've got Novell network software installed.

    Yes I did. Without it I cannot even Switch user :)

    I do not have Novell Software installed in my computer ...

    What should I do !! :(

    Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Has this always been a problem or is it something recent? One thing you might try is to disable all your start up programs. Go to Start Run. Type in msconfig. Disable all the startup programs. Reboot. Log into your account and then try logging into the other one. If it works then you know that there is a conflict with one of the programs you have running. That's all I can think of right now. Good luck!
