Fast User Switching

I run WinXPsp2. Since I installed it 2 years ago, I have had 2 users and had no problem switching users without logging off.

A few months ago, we started having to log off, and log back on to switch users.

Under user accounts, if I click on "change the way users log on or off", and try to click the checkbox to enable fast user switching...it lets me check it and hit apply, but will not remain checked. It immediately unchecks itself when I try to go back into it.

I've tried to find the answer on my own...to no avail. The welcome screen is enabled. I am an administrator. I have ready many threads in other forums about this issue, but not been able to find one fix. I am not part of a domain

Sys specs:

XPsp2
AMD64 3200
x800xl graphics card
SB Audigy2
1GB ram
120 Gb HD

I got it.

Turns out for this to function, terminal services has to be enabled...and I sure as hell disabled it.
