| Hello: After upgrading to Vista Business from XP Pro, I find that under my User listings I have multiple Users: Default (normal?) User 1 User 2 User 2.HOMECOMPUTER User 2~HOMECOMPUTER As best I can tell, when I log onto Windows, it is defaulting to User2.HOMECOMPUTER (thus the ~?) but all of my settings seem to be under the User 2 folder. Thus, each time I log on, I have to reactivate my programs and reload files (e.g., Quickn file). Is there an easy fix for this or is something wrong? Thx. John | Guest

| Greetings. Popular topic I see. I have a similar issue I have seen discussed on many forums, including this one. On log-in, I first see an error message: "The user name or password is incorrect" with an OK button. On clicking OK, I then see two duplicated user logins for my personal admin account, both with the same icon, along with the icon for my networked business comp. Both dupe accounts have the same null password. Tapping enter on either account logs me in with no apparent difference in rights. I do not have Omnipass installed. Log-in without password is checked. Net user accounts: Administrator, Guest, JMark, Work Account manager: JMark (Admin,) Guest (off,) Work (Standard user) I do have a windows.old directory left over from SP1 beta and subsequently, SP1 final install. I tried renaming this folder without positive results. System: Custom build, ASUS P5K-VM, Q6600, 4gb Any suggestions would be appreciated for this annoying issue!
