Re: IE will not run with more than 1 user on the box. Why?

It looks as if you have permission to have one user at a time.

I am using XP Home on a new Dell box (2 weeks old). I have set up 4 users.
It appears that the operating system does not want to "share" Explorer or
Internet Explorer. Let me explain....

When user 1 logs on, all is well. That user can do anything they want,
including surfing the web, browsing within the box, etc. If, while user 1 is
on, either user 2, 3 or 4 logs on, that user can not surf the web. They get
a C++ Runtime error and IE does not open. If you shut down that user, and go
back to user 1, all is well.

If you close down user 1 and log on with any other user, all is well. Any
other concurrent user can not use Explorer or IE. Only the first logged on
user, regardless of which user that is, gets to use Explorer or IE. All
others get the error message!

Any thoughts on why this is and any suggestions how to fix this?

many thanks... Paul
