SOURCE: http://cmsbay.com/blog/2007/04/16/music-plays-even-after-logging-off/ As this is my first, I’d like to tell you people that I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. I have 2 administrator accounts & a guest one. I noticed a peculiar thing related to user accounts. I was working on my blog & some music was playing in the background. I had a really long playlist of about 3-4 hours. My brother needed to check his email so we decided to use the switch user option for the purpose. When I logged off, I noticed a peculiar thing. My playlist kept playing in the background. .....Read More
Did you actually log off or only switch users? In the former case it might be a bug, in the latter it isnt as you remained logged in.
WMP buffers the audio stream,so if you close the player,the music will continue until it reaches the end of the buffered data. (Im on 98se and thats what happens if i just close wmp or my other players)
Well, what do you expect from a multiuser system? If you dont want to have such a behaviour you should log off.
That's definitely your right to be pissed about, but using fast user switching in XP has the same effect. Fast user switching does not log you off or stop any of your programs (that's what faster user switching is) while logging off and then having someone else login does close all your programs. What you're complaining about is the very feature that you're using. logging off > Closes all programs. fast user switching > keeps all programs open so you can switch back to that user with all your program still running.
Thats really messed up! You should be pissed, thats incredibly annoying. I'd probably just break the comp!
Usually that's correct, but strangely when I use the fast user switching on both XP and Vista, my music stops. iTunes.
Vista isn't that hard on memory. I have 1gig and with Firefox, Live Messenger, Aero and Sidebar running it uses about 53% of that.
Yeah. Most of the people that have been criticizing Windows Vista haven't even used it. I respect people's opinions if they actually tried it and stuff, but there are a lot of people that have never touched it. I know I was kinda iffy before I got Vista. It's actually pretty good.
What's with linking to your blog ? Unwanted Self promo ? Ask a question and we will answer it, why the "Read More". I call it spamming Why not simply close the application and then log off ?
