user switching disables itself

Fast user switching used to work on our XP Home system, but now it does not. When logging off, the button appears, but nothing happens when I click. 'Start-L' locks the computer. I check the setting for user accounts, but each time I go back it is turned off again. I checked the offline files stuff and it's fine.

There was a similar thread with no conclusion:

Thanks in advance.

Maybe the Fast User Switching Service is screwed up.

Go Start>Run>type "services.msc" w/o quotes. Find Fast User Switching Service. It should be set to Automatic. If it is, stop the service if it is running, then restart it. If it is stopped, start it.

Hope it helps
