Error in terminal when trying to activate users

  1. khambati

    I installed the software in the admin user. The program worked fine. Then I logged in as another user on the machine. Went to /Users/Shared and then tried to activate this users account. A terminal window comes up and showed an error. Subsequently, I uninstalled the software and tried to get the apple fast switching back. I can do fast switching from all accounts except the account for which I had tried to activate winswitch and had received the errors. How do I get the original fast switching to work in this account.

    Please help. Thanks.

    It would be helpful if you could paste the error messages because without seeing them I have absolutely no idea.

    You should also look at these:

    If you think you're seeing one of those issues you should add your comments to the database there so that all the information about the issue is kept in the one place.
