September 9, 200619 yr I have aproblem whenever i try to swith to another user on Windows XP it starts to swith then the screen switches off it comes back on and then it says Signnal Over Range and i can't see anything at all so i have to restart my computer.
September 9, 200619 yr just an idea, mind you, but it seems like you have a bad screen resolution/setting/frequency range for the "other" user.You can try logging directly with the "other" user credentials and temporarily set the display as VGA 640x480 16 colours .... jaclaz

(1024x768 is the bare minimum.)Getting into that user via safe mode and resetting the screen resolution to the same as you have set on other users (whatever that is) should solve the problem.Good Luck and Happy Computing Andromeda43 B)
September 9, 200619 yr Just hang on, I don't think Windows XP lets you set different screen resolution or freq for different users, because some users actually want to do this and find they cannot. These are per computer settings.So something else is going on.
