windows error message

[cindy]

When I log on to my computer, I keep getting the
following error message
Windows error--a duplicate name exists on the network

I cannot figure out how to get rid of the duplicate nor
can I figure what name is duplicated. I have windows XP
professional running on a toshiba notebook Pentium 4. I
just purchased the computer.

Thank you

Greetings Cindy,

The duplicate name is probably the computer name. Change the name of the
computer and try again.
