Hi, I have several problems with my user function in
Windows XP.
Firstly, when I double click the 'User Accounts' control
panel, nothing happens.
I have tried several ways around this.
File Run (typing in)control userpasswords2
this opens up the User Accounts dialogue box, but when I
try to create a new user it tells me:
The user could not be added because the following error
has occured:
The group name could not be found.
If I try and add a user under a name that has previously
existed, but has been deleted, it tells me:
The user 'name' could not be added because this user
already has permission to use this computer.
I have manually tried to delete the files in My computer;
documents and settings for the old user, but still no joy.
Someone suggested I use the File run cmd and then type in
net users name password /add
but again I get the error
The user name could not be found.
Does this look like familiar territory to anyone?
Solutions?
Thanks
Rachel
