Help keeping programs running when you switch users?

[sym]

Hey everyone, I was just trying to run a program on one user, and switch to another user and still have the program running actively... I know people who said they have done this.

The program I am trying to run, moves the mouse around the screen, so I would like to run it on one user, and than switch to another user for doing other stuff...

When I try just switching to the user, starting the program, and switching back, When I come back to check on it, it stopped right when I switched users... I bet someone here can help me :P Thanks in advance.

You can AIM me @ SyM2oo1 or email is sym@si.rr.com

If the program does not keep running when you do switch, then I doubt it is able to.

Some apps can, some cannot. I would file that app under cannot.

Especially cause it deals with a piece of hardware.

It's weird though, I know more than one person who are running the same app as me, and both say it works flawlessy by just switching users, turning it on, and switching back... are there any options that may effect this?

What about the amount of RAM in their machines compared to yours?

i know the problem is to do with its to do with when the program is switched it autocuts the old stuff so what you need to do is run the the other account and start the porgram log back to yours and it should work fine if not oh well

would you mind explaining a little more? I couldnt quite understand that last thing..

the program you are trying to use i think will work if its started as a Auto ok in other words

Have the program in the Startup folder so when you switch your computer first on log into the account you want to run it on start it and then log off and log back into your main account and it should still be running

With it being in the startup folder it would load from startup!

unless i have no understud what you are properly asking but if i am understanding it then thats how you do it

Ok, I think the real question I want to ask is how can I keep both users logged in simultaneously and active? Like when you hit alt.ctrl.del under users, it normally says Active and Disconnected on the one you switched off of. Is there anyway to keep them both active?
