    Are you using 'Fast User Switching'?

    A lot of drives/drivers don't like that.  Try actually logging off, and then using the next profile.

      No, if the hardware doesn't like it then the only choice is to change the hardware.

      FUS is fairly useless anyway, why would you want to use it?
