I just purchased my first laptop and it has Vista. I have two user accounts set up, mine and my son's, but each time i boot the computer up, only my account is visible. I have searched the help and faq files but can not find mention of fixing this.

Anyone out there have a similar problem?

Thanks

Do both accounts show up under users in control panel?

[airforceone]

yes

Does it by chance say account off? If so, turn it on.

[airforceone]

I will mark this one as solved for you; wish they were all this easy

thanks crjdriver. i turned on the account but it is still not showing up upon boot up or any other time except when i go into the control panel and look at user accounts.

Do you have a password set for your accounts? If you have a pw set, it should come up with the screen to choose accounts and input your pw.

yes. i set up the p/w. this boggles my mind. perhaps it's a laptop issue. my laptop is a sony vaio.
