Hi macallan1962,

Three ideas -

1) Disable your antivirus program.

2) Make sure you are logged onto XP as Administrator

3) Make sure the RPC Locator is activated.
   Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services

4) Make sure the Workstation service is started.
   Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services 

Good luck,
hummer
