When I do this in a command prompt I am asked for a password - I have never used a password so just hitting <enter> fails the program: "1327: Logon failure user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced".

I tried "Run" from the XP Start button. As my normal logon has Administrator rights this starts to run OK. I am asked for the Windows XP Service Pack 3 CD several times - I have the CD in the drive but XP says it can't read it so I presume that a number of files were missing or wrong version but they couldn't be updated.

So I'm no further forward
