Fast user switching problem

[Pilbots]

Hello, I have a problem with my fast user switching. This feature stopped worked ages ago on my PC (I think it was after I last formatted it) and I never bothed to turn it on again. Now I need to start using it, so I went into Control Pannel>User Accounts>Change the way users log on or off and then selected enable fast user switching. When I click apply options it seems to go through okay (no error message) but it hasn't actally enabled it. When I try to switch users (on the start menu) nothing happens when I click it and when I go back into change the way users log on or off the box isn't ticked.

I'm slightly confused so any help would be appreciated

I have no idea really but it would be good to check that the service is not disabled (Start > Run > "services.msc") I think its called Fast User Switching Compatibility. Set it to automatic I think for what you want. Then try checking it the way you did before.

Okay, I tried that, it was on manual but when i changed it to automatic there was no change. I also tried to press the start button under 'service status: stopped' and it gave me this error:

Could not start the fast user switching combatibility service on local computer

Error 1068: The dependancy service or group failed to start

I went onto dependancys and apparently it relies on 'terminal services>remote procedure call' whatever that is.

You did well in this part.

Here you should have found "terminal services" and "remote procedure call" in the same place you found "Fast user switching" and did the same as above.
