588685 2007-09-06 22:51:00 Hi Guys

Ok heres the problem recently loaded XP Pro on to a computer in my home network but are unable to connect to it.
I believe i know how to get it to go. Under local security settings and user rights assignments; there is a policy called "Access this computer from network". When i try to add users to this though it comes up with an error saying "Failed to save security database".

Anybody got any ideas on how to get passed this?

Thanks
