Hi. I reformated my Alienware computer with XP
Professional. I can't seem to access the usual Welcome
screen that allows my other users onto the computer.
When the computer boots up, it seems to allow only the
Administrator account. I know how to set up other users
to be Administrators... but Windows XP Prof doesn't seem
to allow me to select this. Is it possible it's a Group
Policy issue?
