    A device attached to the system...

    When I log on via one of my admin users, I'm getting the error: "A device
    attached to the system is not functioning." When I log on as the actual
    administrator, it loads fine. I can't figure out how to rectify this.
    Everything was working fine yesterday. Today I installed the latest drivers
    from nVidia for my video card, but if that were the source of the
    problem...I'd imagine it would be an issue for both the Administrator user
    and the other "Admin" user. Is this a known issue of any kind? Google
    didn't help much.



    Thanks,
    James

    Disregard. Forgot (don't ask how) that I was connecting via Remote Desktop.
    I had an orphaned disconnect and multiple users were logged on. I logged
    off the admin user and life returned to normal. Hurray.
