GPU2 client + Win XP Fast User Switch = EUE errors???

Okay, having had SWMBO gone for the past two weekends, I came to an interesting conclusion - every day she's at home and logs on/switches over to her account, I get an EUE shutdown within hours. While she was gone, I had multiple days in a row with no problems! So the most logical conclusion is that SHE is the cause of the EUE errors I've been getting for the past few months! :rolleyes:

Can anyone tell me if XP's fast user switching is known to cause problems with the current GPU client? And if so, short of a separate dedicated folding boxen (like I still wouldn't try to keep the main boxen folding anyways, even if just for SMP), is there any know solution to this issue? Should I finally bite the bullet and upgrade to Vista? I have a second 96GSO going in this week, so I'll be needing to take some downtime, and if I can do both at once, I might as well...

Thoughts?

 
Yes, Fast user switching will reset the graphics subsystem so it will cause a EUE. I don't think upgrading to Vista will fix the issue since both have the same method of Fast User Switching.

 
So basically, since this is the main computer for my wife's email/web surfing and my 4 year old's games, I'm basically screwed on stable GPU folding? That sucks! :mad:

Guess I'll wait for VJ and company to fix the software, right? :rolleyes: Won't be holding my breath...

Okay, last ditch effort here: I don't suppose that there's a Linux VM solution to this, is there? And will this issue apply to both cards in my boxen, or just the one hooked up to my monitor? (I'm pretty sure I already know the answers, but I gotta ask!)
