Have you tried just ringing the help desk and explaining the issue? It's a crazy plan, but they just might go 'Aw. Never thought of that.' and fix it in minutes. Or not, but it never hurts to be optimistic. John. Busy lad.

Which is why you got the error. XP Pro is really the way to go, XP Home is the peon/luser version of XP. I tell people this, but noody ever believes me.
