We have two users on our home desktop computer (both are set as administrators). For several years, we've always had separate wallpaper and screen resolution settings, but for some reason now any change one user makes happens on the other persons screen as well. This includes wallpaper, screen resolution and saved passwords for logging into VPN access. Any explanations/suggestions on how to fix this? It didn't use to be like this and is really annoying as one of us wants the screen resolution set to tiny lettering and the other wants it huge!

darn those old people with bad vision anyway!!! jk
you will have to reinstall XP, my pc also did that a year ago.
just click on Start, then click on help & support, and type in reinstall windows and it will give you a step by step, takes about a half hour.
PS, you should print the instructions so you dont forget them while your reinstalling. dont be overwelmed, if I can do it... u can do it. its very easy, and i dont know anything about computers

well all i can think of is set it to just 1 administrator s it should be anyways then reset your settings and see if they will hold, if not you will likely have to do what the other answer i read to your question was , u i just think it is a conflict on pc somewheres, good luck
