Operating Your Notebook (Vista)

Using Fast User Switching, programs executed by previous users remain running in the back-

ground. This means a possible slower computer response. It may also stop multimedia programs,

including games and DVD software, from running.

Fast User Switching does not work if your notebook is running Windows Vista

and is a member of a computer domain or if your notebook has less than 128

MB of memory.
