Description

I can't seem to get WinSwitch to work at all. Specifically, Users/Shared/Activate WinSwitch leads to Terminal, which gives me an identical result for both admin and other accounts: 

Deactivating menu extra with identifier "com.apple.menuextra.appleuser" ... Success.
Deactivating menu extra with identifier "net.sourceforge.menucracker" ... Success.
Deactivating menu extra with identifier "com.wincent.WinSwitch" ... Success.
Activating menu extra with bundle path "/Library/Menu Extras/WinSwitch.menu" after item number -1 ... Failure.
Error: fatal error while adding bundle "/Library/Menu Extras/WinSwitch.menu" aborting processing
Activating menu extra with bundle path "/Library/Menu Extras/WinSwitch.menu" after item number -1 ... Failure.
Error: fatal error while adding bundle "/Library/Menu Extras/WinSwitch.menu" aborting processing
logout

[Process completed]

Any suggestions for what I can do about this would be super. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no effect. Thanks!

    I imagine you're probably using Leopard or Snow Leopard. WinSwitch was never updated for those systems because the third-party tool it relies on was incompatible with them.

    See ticket #1378 for more info.
