I have a client with a Windows XP Professional PC (Was
upgraded from XP Home version) that will not allow a user
name/password to be changed. It appears to allow the
changes, but when logging back in, the system does not
recognize the user/password. When I log in with a
different user and restore the changed user back to its
original name and password, I can log in with no problems.
This PC also has the Novell client installed (I have made
similar changes to other Windows XP Pro PC's with the same
Novell client without problems - the others were not
upgrades though)

Help!!!
