Hi,

my kid loves the games in vista. he has his own account using parental
controls (these are very usefull with little kids ) Only when i take a
break and he go into his profile while i'm still logged in (switch user
instead of logoff) he can't play the games, they allways hang. Once i logoff
my account they work again.

Did some testing with multiple accounts cause i tought it had something to
do with the parental controls.
as soon as more as 1 user is logged in the games hang on all accounts.

It sounds like a Parental Controls bug, or maybe not set up properly to
allow the games he wishes to play...

Don;t think its related to the parental controls.

When i log in using 2 account not having parental control, i have the same
problem, no mather what kind of account i use, as soon more as 1 user is
logged in, the games hang.

Ahh... might be worth a try, go to Run, type in MSCONFIG, and select the
Tools tab. Highlight "Disable UAP" and select Launch. Restart the machine
and try again.

I can confirm this with "UAP disabled", I switched to a limited account, I
was playing Spider Solitaire in my account, when I switched to the Limited
account and tried to play Spider Solitaire, I get not responding and I have
to end the task through Task Manager. Bugged.
