Blue Screen of Death

When I upgraded to Vista, I received error messages related to fast.exe not
being installed correctly. I disabled fast.exe and now whenever I switch from
my wife's account to my account (never the reverse) I get the blue screen of
death. We both have complete administrative rights. Any thoughts?

barry i think its a virus

"The fast.exe process will allow you to switch between two user 'sessions'
running on your computer using a hot-key. This allows two people to be
signed on to the same computer at the same time and swap between the two
sign-on's with ease. If you use this feature you should leave the fast.exe
process running"

I can see why you'd be having problems with it disabled. It's part of XP
PowerToys I believe.

The problem is fast.exe does not work in Vista.
