    it started happening me after a windows up date lately...

    so the fix
    start > settings > control pannel > user accounts

    then in click "change the way users log on or off"
    then unclick the 2 boxes.

    Or if using things other than XP Home then try autologon

    Read somewhere recently that this had something to do with the ASP account being enabled, though wasn't paying attention.

    How about TweakUI for XP, though should be doing the same as Captn's suggestion, perhaps SP2 changed something.

    "
    Using TweakUI

    Open TweakUI (Click Start, Programs, Powertoys for Windows XP). Expand the Logon branch, and click Autologon. Turn on the "Log on automatically at......" option, type your username and password, and click Ok.

    Aye check if there is an ASP account in the account settings and delete it. It appears after installing DotnetFx.

    BTW: in XP using a Blank Password with the Admin account does a few funny things like no remote logon. So yes you should put in a password to keep it happy.
