Guest jktan99 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I have 3 accounts on my PC, one admin, two limited (for my kids), running on Windows XP SP3. Now, when we boot up the PC, if my son (limited account) or I (admin account) logs in first, there is no problem. However, if my daughter (limited account) logs in, the PC got stuck. On the desktop, some icons are okay, some aren't (they look like document shape not icons) and the PC is frozen. She said that when this happens, she has to restart (i.e. pressing reset button because it is frozen) a few times until it finally boots up okay (and the desktop is fine). I checked her settings (startup applications, display property etc) and I couldn't find anything different with my or my son's account. I would appreciate any advise to fix this matter. Thanks.
