Hi Curt,

Thank you. I went via the link you suggested and found exactly the fix
required - basically, I needed to copy some of the Linksys files, then unplug
the Linksys USB Wireless adapter and uninstall the Linksys program. After
re-booting I plugged in the USB adapter in again and, when asked where the
driver was, directed it to the files I had previously copied from the Linksys
software, without having to reinstall the complete program.

Now it's all working correctly again and FAST USER SWITCHING is enabled.

I still don't know why the problem has only occurred recently, because I've
had the Linksys adater on the PC for months, but it's working now, so that's
really all that matters.

Thanks again for the help.
