I ran into some problems while trying to do a reinstall of XP PRO and had to install a whole new copy, I have the old copy backed up but now when I log on to windows, it doesn't allow me to log on under my old name, it will not log on at all.

thank you for your input though, it will be helpful in the future.:-)
