Default Installation - Error on accounts not being logged off...when they

I'm trying to install an application and it won't allow me to because it says
more than 1 user is logged in. When I check the task manager for users it
only shows my account....there are obviously System and Network accounts
running. Any thoughts

Hello,

Have you checked for any updated software from the manufacturer?

Due to the way Windows Vista isolates services, I can see an application
mistakenly thinking that more than one user was logged in if it only looks
at how many "sessions" are running to determine this. In vista, there are
two sessions, one for services and one for you, while in XP there is only
one session.

You may try running the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP
(right-click, properties, compatability tab).
