As far as I can tell I have full logging enabled and nothing errors.
I also am set-up as a Computer Administrator so should be able to access
things fine. The only thing that I can think that HAS changed that could
cause any problems apart from upgrading to SP1 was that I had to change the
Administrators account password via the User Manager as I couldn't remember
what it was set to when XP was installed. This may have caused something to
break that needs to be fixed, but I cannot for the life of me think what it
could be.
