Hi Mike,

Right click on Network Neighborhood > Properties and change "Client for MS network" to "Windows logon" then press F3 and search the Windows directory for all *.pwl files and delete them all. It will ask you for password when you reboot, just don't enter anything and click OK. That should fix the problem. Hope that helps.
