XP login account

hello, again.
a friend's pc (XP,sp2) will not log into a new account setup from the admin account. this is the error message:
'Detail: the system cannot find the file specified'
the account setup was ok and the new account (ltd one) DOES show up in the 'User Accounts' window from within the main acct. ???
thanx ahead of time for any help here

uhmmm....no ideas here on this one???

has no one seen this before??

does the error give you the file path ?

no it's just a small popup box with a built-in timer that closes it after some 45 seconds

Delete it and make a new one, see if the problem goes away.
