This is kind of annoying, but sometimes when logging off my user accounts to

log in as an administrator, (sometimes in reverse,) or when I'm using Switch

user mode Windows goes through the motions of Switching / Logging me off the

account, but hangs (Fast User switching -) or freezes at saving my settings

(- Log off.)

I usually end up having to hard reboot to clear this mess up.

 

I tried SFC /scannow from built in Administrator, but the problem persists.

 

If possible I want to avoid doing a repair install.

 

Thanks much.

C J.

Hi,

 

What does it read under Start/Run: eventvwr.msc

Hi Kelly,

 

I've been checking Event Viewer after this happens to see if something

lists. I found my problem at Microsoft lastnight - theres appears to be a

hotfix for the issue discussed in KB328934. I'd have to phone Microsoft to

obtain it. However, the drivers offered in that fix - have a file creation

date - 7 mos older than files I currently have installed on my system (the

Joy I had - on that discovery.)

 

I did manage to find some messages in System log related to the operation of

my onboard Intel Pro/Ve 100 Lan adapter. These three events seem to coincide

with my last hang from a log off lastnight.

Considering the age of the Motherboard in this pc (6-7 years) I'm probably

CJ:

 

Just disable Fast User Switching and go back to

Log Off Current User, etc.

 

Fast User Switching is buggy - I had random

hangups on boot, spontaneous reboots, etc. until

I disabled it.

 

Nary a problem in the 6 months since I discovered

it (or somethinge that it invokes) as being the source.

Thanks for mentioning this V -- I electively did that as a precaution last

night. On a side note - it would be a sweet setup to have handy - if MS

could identify and fix this issue properly for most users using later builds

of XP. (doing some research on files listed in my build, will post results

later.)

Secondary log off service was disabled/stopped on my PC - so I'm beginning

to suspect the user switching or log off hangs, because this service wasn't

enabled and/or started.

 

I'm going to set it in services as Manual, and Start the service - Reboot.

and reconfigure my accounts to use fast user switching, and see if there are

any more problems with either function.

 

I will repost - if there are no changes.

So much for my test... it didn't matter which account I started from, or

fast switched over to. The other account that was switched to - couldn't log

off or switch back when through.
