windows games hang if more 1 user logged in

Hi,
my kid loves the games in vista. he has his own account using parental controls (these are very usefull with little kids ;)) Only when i take a break and he go into his profile while i'm still logged in (switch user instead of logoff) he can't play the games, they allways hang. Once i logoff my account they work again.
Did some testing with multiple accounts cause i tought it had something to do with the parental controls. as soon as more as 1 user is logged in the games hang on all accounts.

It sounds like a Parental Controls bug, or maybe not set up properly to allow the games he wishes to play...

Don;t think its related to the parental controls.
When i log in using 2 account not having parental control, i have the same problem, no mather what kind of account i use, as soon more as 1 user is logged in, the games hang.

Ahh... might be worth a try, go to Run, type in MSCONFIG, and select the Tools tab. Highlight "Disable UAP" and select Launch. Restart the machine and try again.

I can confirm this with "UAP disabled", I switched to a limited account, I was playing Spider Solitaire in my account, when I switched to the Limited account and tried to play Spider Solitaire, I get not responding and I have to end the task through Task Manager.
