Whenever I check Fast User Switching and click on Apply Options. The checkmark suddenly disappears, without a warning or an error. I restart the computer and it still doesn't work. The first time this happened, a message came up telling me that my "Offline Files" was enabled, so I disabled it. Does anyone know how to get this Fast User Switching to stay checked? Is there a Registry Entry that I can change?

oh, and another thing, I never enabled the "Offline Files". Some other program must have enabled it. I've been trying to get pcAnywhere to work, but I guess i'll have to upgrade to 10.5.

needs 128 mb ram to work if you have 64 it wont work, yes you must have latest pc anywhere also

I did have the Fast User Switching working before this problem, I currently have 384 MB of Ram.

I am having exactly the same problem. I also installed pcAnywhere. I believe this is the problem. I am using a trial version of 10.5. It seems that pcAnywhere must alter something in the registry. Its the best I can tell. However I don't know what to do about it.

I tried this on my comptuer after installing pcanywhere, and it worked like a charm To re-enable the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching, do the following: 1 Click Start, then click Run. 2 Type REGEDIT and click OK. 3 Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft- WindowsNT - CurrentVersion - Winlogon 4 In the right-hand pane of the Registry Editor, highlight the entry named GinaDll and press the Delete key. 5 When asked if you are sure you want to delete this value, click Yes. 6 Close the Registry Editor. The Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching should now be re-enabled.be re-enabled."
