    Hi i know that it is not suported on Vista Home Premium, but i don't seem to be able to swap users in Vista any more.

    Anyone else experience this. I am running XP on a Vista Host

    Appreciate any insight.

    Thanks

    Shane

    You mean users accounts in Vista ?

    Can you log in as one or is fast user switching not working ?

    Yes, User accounts.

    When i try to switch users it keeps going back to the current one.

    At the moment, since Vista is set to automatically boot into one of the user accounts, i can't log into my admin account.

    It does not matter if Virtual PC is running or not.

    Have you tried undoing the auto log on tweak for your account ?

    There is no old stlye XP admin account in Vista (it is hidden) your user account should be an admin one unless you created another account with lower privileges.

    I have one account i have set as an administrator and two standard user accounts.

    Going to try turning off the auto login today and see if it helps. Will let you know.

    Turning off Auto Logon did the trick. With a bit of luck i will be able to turn it on again and use it normally.

    Cheers
