I established a second user account which should not have administrator rights.

When starting this account, there is only the "Welcome"-screen, the acoustic signal and a few accesses to the hard disk are to be seen - but it never starts...

Selected as an administrator it works perfectly!

The priinciple account (administrator) is not affected.
