XP sp3: change user not allowed
in [Windows XP]

From: Big House on 18 Nov 2009 09:28 yes, fast user switching compatibility is running...
From: Big House on 18 Nov 2009 09:30 It looks like XP thinks that an open session (which is not logged on though) counts as one user and won't allow to open other sessions. This usually happens when using Terminal Server (one session only can be opened) but here we are talking of local sessions that are logged on ONE AT A TIME.

Possibly a failed load of a DLL ... Bernd
