SWITCHING USERS SLOWWWWWW
On my Vista I have 4 users. When we go to switch user, it takes anywhere
from 3-5 minutes for the screen to load up to the users. Then we can select the user. I understand it came take a minute or two to load up the user settings, but when you switch user, again it takes from 3-5 minutes? Any ideas?

More Ram? Brand new computer-1 year old. Do you think I should add more Ram?

His answer WAS kinda complicated, but after a second and third re-reading, I am pretty confident in assuring you that's what he was saying.

I'm not Richard, but in my view, how old the computer is isn't important; you need to answer the following questions before anyone can take a reasonable guess: How much RAM do you have? What applications do you run? "Richard Urban" wrote: Add more RAM! -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "howieonline" wrote in message ... On my Vista I have 4 users.

I'm gonna take a WAG he where do you think the current situation gets written to when a one switches users? Sounds a lot like some kind of hibernation or sleep to me where the settings are written to RAM (or the hard drive if not enough RAM is installed) and then the new user's settings are loaded. More RAM, less hard drive storage. Like I said... just a WAG. "Richard Urban" wrote: Add more RAM! -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "howieonline" wrote in message ...
