Re: cant switch user accounts

Hello,

are they both administrative accounts? Try changing the account status of
your wife's account and see if anything will change.

Greetings,

Hi Johnalesie,

You might try creating your wife a new account from within your Administrator account and delete her's after you transfer her personal user file's contents to the new account. See:

User Account - Delete

RE: cant switch user accounts

Hi,

You can try possibly restarting your computer in safe mode, and creating a
new user account from there. Before windows boots, hit F8 and select "Safe
Mode" from the boot menu. Log in as an administrator, and create a new user
account. I hope this helps, and good luck.
