    I get a critical stop and "Installation Failed" message whenever logging on to a new user account. I click OK and everything seems to go fine. This doesn't seem to happen with accounts that have been rethemed and/or used, just with new ones.
    Just curious if anyone had a guess or a know about it. :)

    A normal logon or when using 'fast user switching'?

    Only the first time you log on with a new account and all is normal thereafter?

    Any details in your event logs for the error?

    It was fast switching, yes.
    It happened every time i logged in as that user, not just the first.
    I didn't look at the logs, and now i won't. I don't have that computer anymore.
    Thanks for your input!
