I must say it is a pleasure to still find support for xp nowadays! I used to use newsgroups for all problems but my ISP no longer supports. Yes there are many XP users still out there. Thanks XP Forums for your support and help. Moving right along, I'm having trouble logging on to my XP machine. This particular XP install is not currently accessible remotely either as I am not able to logon to the computer to make it remotely available. So, normally my user name appears and I just click ok and I get logged on. (This machine was not password protected). Now I'm getting "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively." The system is a dual boot (2 hard drives) XP machine. I can access the *other* XP fine and I can access all files on the group policy problem XP as well. I thought maybe if I just copy my group policy folder from the accessible XP over the problem one that all would be well. So I did, but when I rebooted the computer, I was still not able to logon to the problem XP and I'm still getting the same error message. A couple years ago, I backed up the install when it was working good, but I have since then used the backup in another machine via motherboard swap and have added and removed some programs. But I'm sure the root files are all there and still original, if that is of any help...or maybe not. Can anyone recommend a fix for my logon woes for the blocked policy XP? Many thanks in advance
