I also have XP. In my case I reach the login screen but
only one user's button is displayed, under a name I
entered on set up. I am the sole user but I cannot get in
as an administrator and I'm denied talking any of the
administrator actions. There are a lot of people asking
similar questions to ours but I've seen no replies and
there's nothing on setting up an administrator in the help
areas.
There's a lot of us getting pretty desparate.

Hallo again,
I solved part of my problem by opening the Control Panel > User Accounts <
and creating another administrator. Loged in on this new account I was able
to make the changes I wanted to make.
