Hello there,

This might help. Navigate to:

Start > Control Panel > Users

Choose the option, "Change the way users log on and off". Then check both "Enable Fast User Switching" and "Use welcome screen".

Click Apply or Ok, and then restart your computer.

Sorry if things are worded a little differently, or in different places - I'm not currently using Windows XP, so I can't double check Search around and give me the outcome.

they're both already checked. any other idea? i wanted to try restoring with the f10 key at startup but its like it is disabled or something because the f12 and f1 setip keys work just not that option it shows the f10 but it doesnt work. I figure restoring will fix it but maybe you know what i can do for that. thanks ~GEN~
