switching desktops crashes my computer
Posted by opuskitty on October 9th, 2005


I have three desktops on my computer. Mine is the main and my kids each have
one. It's fine when we switch from my desktop to theirs, but when we try to
switch back my computer crashes. Can I fix this without deleting their
desktops and starting over? Is there anyway to keep this from happening again?

Try disabling Fast User Switching (in the Users Control Panel applet). I am
not a big fan of FUS because of the problems that I've seen.

For a more elegant fix, try this:

I got the above suggestion from this thread:
