Upgrading XP with Administrator account

G

Guest

Just a heads up if you are planning on doing an upgrade of an XP machine like
I did where the only active account is administrator. The install went along
just fine but after it completed I was unable to logon to my machine because
Vista apparently locks out the Administrator account if it was activer prior
to install. As this was the only active account on the machine at the time, I
couldn't do anything. You would think that the upgrader/installer could
detect this condition and prompt you to create a new account just like it
does during a fresh install. Oh well. Live and learn.
