Hi,

I have a brand new PC running Windows XP.
Day 1 my connection to the internet was blazing fast using
a cable modem. I then installed multiple users with
limited access for the other users. Shortly after this,
my connection to the internet slowed down noticeably.
When switching between users, the system leaves "Compaq
connection agent" application running on original user.
The CPU runs at 100% for as long a 10 to 60 seconds.

Compaq's Help recommends that I reload the system from
recovery disk.
1. Can anyone help with this problem?

2. I'm also looking for general feedback on multiple
users for Windows XP. Research I did indicates there
appears to be general kinks with it. When it works things
are fine. When it doesn't work it's a big headache.

I generally understand the benefits of multiple users but
I'd appreciate others weighing in on the benefit/
headaches of multiple users.

Thanx
