Unexpected Error Message

by father_mark Jun 7, 2005 2:37AM PDT

I recently reformatted the HD and reloaded XP Home SP1. I added one additional user account besides mine. When the 2nd account is logged into, a dialogue box popps up saying "Unexpected error; is quitting". I have to x out of it, but everything seems to load as normal. Does anyone know what causes this?

and unwanted!
Joke aside, had a similar problem - never really got to the bottom of it - suspect some non XP compatible programs dont like running under limited accounts - which I assume this is the case with you - I ended up making the second account have full admin privileges and turned off fast user switching.
Hope this applies to you and solves your problem.
