Printing is 50-fold slower
I recently installed a different copy of Windows XP Pro on
my computer, and found that printing a single page of text to the network printer takes minutes instead of seconds. The install was from a complete re-formatted hard-drive. There are a few differences with the copy of Windows XP, one of them is that I can not create an "Administator" login. |

This is likely to be a networking issue, not a Windows issue. You could connect a printer locally to find out. Why can't you create an "Admin" login? You need to provide more details: How you're trying to do it and what exactly happens. Remember - we can't see your machine! |

One thing to remember is that installing a different copy of Windows XP might mean installing a different version of the printer driver files. Believe it or not, not all driver files of the same name may behave the same; some newer (or updated) ones may actually run worse than the ones that were replaced. |

Administrator user account is always created automatically. By default, it will not show up on the Welcome screen. If you did a complete re-format of the drive and re-install a different XP version, you need / should re-install the motherbaord chipset drivers. These drivers help the installed XP understand how to correctly access the motherboard reasources (USB, IDE, IRQs etc.) |
