XP LOGIN PROBLEM

[Chris]

I have several win2000 machines that log into a server no
problem. We have ordered a bunch of new machines with XP
Pro on them. When I try to log into the server the
Windows XP login screen goes to the "Loading Personal
Settings..." screen and just hangs there. This has
happened with almost every new machine with XP Pro that I
have tried. All passwords and account are correct and in
order. Any suggestions? Besides dumping XP and going
back to win2000?

Were these machines set up for logging on to a domain assuming that is what
you are trying to do?
