I have recently been having some odd problems with Windows. It is happening on two different computers, so I suspect a problem with Windows itself, rather than the installation or the computer.
Here is what happens:
Create a new user on the computer - Control Panel | User Accounts | Create a new account. The newly created user account then shows up when I select "Switch User". However, it shows up with what I assume is the default picture.
When I try to put a different picture in I get a message that says "Automation server can't create object." What is the problem, and what is the solution?
bobbyraw: I am getting notifications whenever there are updates for Windows. I then apply the updates as I am notified. So I think I am keeping my Windows up to date. It is really odd that it must have worked once, but now it doesn't.
Suspicio: yep! I've googled the message and discovered that the same message occurs in several different scenarios. I'm currently working my way through the google hits. So far I've tried a few of the suggestions, but nothing has worked yet.
