I have three accounts set up on my macbook and borrow a school monitor to use when in class. When I'm in my usual (not admin) account, it works as expected. But when I need to log out occasionally to check my admin account I find the other account doesn't load onto the display further than the desktop image. No harddrive or folders, no dock. They do show on the macbook screen itself (I'm still using the keyboard. They don't have a mac keyboard to borrow and I could sort out the shortcut keys.)
Anyone know what's up with this? Seems really strange. I didn't need to really do anything to get it to work with the regular account. :confused:
