Black screen of death when switching users in XP with SP3
Windows hangs (completely black screen, ctrl-alt-del has no effect, no option but to switch off at the wall and restart) sometimes when switching between users. Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. Difficult to see a pattern in when this happens except generally one user is logged on with some apps running: switching to another user and logging on, or off, can bring on the black screen. This seems to be described here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/328934?p=1 but the problem is supposedly with SP2, fixed by SP3. I still have it though. On reboot, things are strangely restored - i.e. applications running at crash are relaunched where they were, e.g. browser will be open, at the same web page.2 people need an answerI do too
