Hello,
Most likely you are running into the issue documented in the following KB
article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883969
This issue occurs because of an enhanced security feature that is included
in Windows XP SP2. This enhanced security feature helps protect your
computer from attacks by malicious users or by malicious software, such as
computer viruses. By default, this feature is turned on in the registry.
