*shrug* ME either... :-) Anyway, it's not a big deal as I installed TweakUI to fix it. Thanks, anyway.

It sounds like a simple case of profile corruption cause usually by an ungraceful shutdown - but the part that doesn't make immediate sense to me is why logging on with another account would correct the issue without any other efforts. -- ME2 On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 7:14 AM, John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: We have a workstation running Windows XP that controls a proprietary piece of hardware. The machine is NOT attached to the active directory, although it is on the network. The proprietary software that runs on it was set up under the Administrator account and *has* to run under the Admin account or it barfs as it requires a keylock and wont see that keylock if you try to run it as another user (it thinks youre trying to violate the license agreement.) Today, they rebooted the machine and the Administrator account was nowhere to be seen and it wouldnt let me log on as the administrator until I logged in as someone else first. I have fixed that using TweakUI to change the default logon credentials, but Im wondering if anyone here knows of any recent updates that would have caused the behavior to change? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
