HELPROOM ANSWER The RtlGina2.dll file mentioned here is a component of Netgear's wireless adaptor software. When installed, it replaces a Windows file that's required for the correct operation of Fast User Switching. We don't have one of these adaptors to hand, and have been unable to test the solution. However, other users have reported success with a utility written by Doug Knox, a former Microsoft MVP. Download the tool here.
