Unhappy HAHAHA figure this one out!!

ok guys and gals.....figure this one out. So i have windows XP loaded onto my computer, fresh, with SP2. I have minimal programs on it, just some basic photoediting and burning programs (adobe photoshop and nero 6). So there are two accounts on it, let's say bob and jane. So when i start windows everything is great...i log onto jane (#2 in list) no problems then when i log into bob (#1 in list) the monitor shuts off and displays what it would look like if you unplugged the monitor and the computer stalls. Now i tried logging into bob first, no problems....then log into jane, also no problems...but then when i go back into bob's it does the same thing. This makes no sense to me at all, i don't even know where to look. Just a side note, the system listed in my signature is not the computer i'm talking about.

System specs:
HP 7920
Celeron 900MHz processor
Intel 810E Chipset
Nvidia G-Force 2 video card
Windows XP SP2

now i did update all the drivers and also got the intel graphics accelerator (it was there and sounded good) and that is about it.

Anyways good luck with this one, i sure need it!

How much ram does that thing have? If it's low on ram, fast user switching can cause problems.
