CGMINER crashes when using Switch User on Windows. This is the only miner that does this, all other miners continue happily mining in the background.
When the crash happens, the mining kernel continues to run on the gpus but no shares are submitted, and the cgminer interface just hangs and doesnt respond.

I tried all versions back to 2.0.4, they all crash when switching user.

My machine:
Windows 7 x64
Catalyst 12.6, APP 2.7
Radeon 7950 and 5850

Does the cgminer actually crash or continues running in ALIVE state and not submitting shares?

If cgminer actually crashes, post WER details.

If cgminer process is still running, check GPU/PGA and pool statuses using ANUBIS or other API status display tools.


I doesnt actually crash and exit, the interface just stops responding. Also it stops submitting shares, I use the 50btc.com pool and when the miner hangs the drop in mhash/s is seen quickly in the pools API. And GPU-Z shows the gpus continue running the kernels.
