Hi, i think this is the right forum for this, otherwise....

I downloaded Litestep and installed it yesterday but i have one problem. The computer is locked. When i want to swtich user it says "The active user will be logged out... (but in swedish)". So i have to logout instead and shutoff all programs.

I'm not 100% Litestep caused this problem. But i hope you can help me anyway. (i uninstalled Litestep but it was still a problem)

This is not an issue with LSnet.

Ok, but do you know what the problem is? I have never has this problem before i installed litestep....

What he meant was that you posted the question in the "Site" forum, which (surprise!) deals with issues regarding this "site".

As I recall, you can't use fast user switching in conjunction with non-explorer shells. So... you have to log out in order to switch users. For most of us, that just doesn't matter. We are the only users of our machines, and running multiple users just sucks up resources.

Ok, but when i uninstalled Litestep it was stil that problem. But ok, i think i can live with it :)

You should be able to re-enable fast user switching if you're no longer using LS. Is that not the case?

But i am using LS. I find a good looking and effective theme. But if i want to uninstall LS, how do i do to be able to switch user...

like boreas said, you have to enable fast user switching in the user account settings in windows. it's disabled because it sometimes slows down the login with litestep as the shell.
