SpamBayes should be looking in your individual user folders
(something like 'C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data
\SpamBayes\Proxy'). Are you both running sb_tray at the same time?
(i.e. using fast user switching or whatever Microsoft calls it). I'm
not sure how well Windows isolates multiple logged in users (i.e. can
they each run a separate copy of the same program?)

This should work, although I believe it means you'll share data
(configuration, training data). That might not matter to you.

Can you get copies of the most recent log files and send those to
us? (The troubleshooting guide explains where to find them). I
suspect that the second instance is started and finds one already
running (assuming that the other user is still logged in) so stops.
