Windows XP - Fast Switching with Client

David · 2007-07-19, 06:40 PM

I installed gbpvr as a client on my main workstation. I was hoping to give access to my wife on her "side". The application only appears on my programs menu. I tried copying a set of links to her account, but they do not work.

Will the client software work for multiple accounts on the same XP Pro workstation?

I've never run it from multiple accounts myself, but I'm not aware of anything other than the shortcuts that would stop it. If you manually run GBPVR.exe or PVRX2.exe from that account, does it run? If so, then just create a shortcut on the desktop. If it doesnt work, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

I'm not positive, but am pretty sure that I ran the exe files directly with no luck. I'll check again and zip up any logs and error messages produced.

This is from my wife's side. She watched what I was doing and now wants to send you e-mail regarding what YOU directed me to do. :eek:

Ok, when going into the folder and double clicking the pvrx2.exe file directly, I get a continuous screen of .net errors. Logs attached. Thanks!

If you temporarily try it not configured to be a client, does the user interface start from your wifes account? I'm trying to work out if its related to client mode.

Yes, switching to non-client mode allows the exe files to work. I now suspect she does not have access to the network shares. Let me change the permissions there and get back to you.

Yep - thats my theory too.
