Two Strange Problem!! Please Help!!!

[AMSoftware]

I've got two strange problems I desparately need help with, I have five
computers all networked together (peer-to-peer 10/100) all running Windows XP
Professional

My first problem is this:
None of the systems use passwords, they all automatically login when booted -
except one! it doesn't auto-login and you have to click on the username to get
in, even though there isn't a password. I've tried all sorts, how do you get it
to auto login?

My second problem is this:
All of the systems use an access database, which is loaded on just one of the
computers, all of the others use it just fine - except one! this one uses the
message that I can't access the database because of security restrictions and
suggests that I copy the file to the local disk if I want to change it! what on
earth is this! All of the systems where loaded exactly the same - so why is
this one behaving differently?

Please could someone help me, this is driving me MAD!!!!

Thanks

Auto Logon:

Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Uncheck: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

Xp will then ask you to enter the user and password you want to auto-logon
to.
Or
Download and install tweakui for xp and use its auto-logon feature.

Need more networking/shares details. Sounds like the problem machine doesn't
have matching user accounts on the database machine making the share
unavailable.

Start - Run the line
control userpaswords2

Uncheck 'Users must use a username' and Apply; tell it the username to
use (leaving password blank). You probably have a further username
which is actually hidden on the Welcome screen
