| Anybody out there have an answer or suggestion? Problem: Operating System > Operating System: Windows XP > Problem Description: There are three accounts / users for the computer. One primary and two secondary users. > Log On Screen Appears as follows: > > ie. 1st Secondary User - Account 2 > Primary User - Account 1 Admin > 2nd Secondary User - Account 3 > > Error / Device in use message appears under the following two (2)circumstances. > > Situation 1: > > Note: Primary user - account 1 has logged on first. Secondary User - Account 2 is not logged on. > > When the 2nd secondary user - Account 3 logs on the following message appears: > > Direct CD5.1_E3c > Device in Use by > First Secondary user - Account 2 > > This message never appears when Primary User - Acccount 1 logs on first, second or third user. > ie. - only user; > - second user after either secondary > logged on; or > - third user after both secondary users > logged on. > > Situation 2: > > In the case where Primary User - Account 1 has not logged on and secondary user Account 3 is the first to log on the message does not appear when Account 3 logs on. > > However, when Secondary User - Account 2 logs on after Account 3 the message appears stating that the device is in use by Secondary User Account 3. > > This is extremely confusing. I do not understand why the system is notifying the secondary user - account 3 that the direct CD device is in use by the other secondary user even when the secondary user- account 2 may not even be logged on. > > Any assistance would be appreciated. > > I would like to correct this Device in use message as it appears to be malfunctioning. > I am also concerned that there is some direct connection in the device drivers or operating system that links the CD driver to one or more user accounts but apparently not all. > > Note: The CD hardware itself appears to function correctly.
