Guest Ushnell Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Windows 2000 is treating me as if I am a thief that is trying to break into my own computer after I made a change to the Local Security Policy in the Management console. I don't know exactly what is causing the log on screen to say it can't log me on to the system but I think it's the "log on as system" setting I applied before restart that is causing this but why? any help to this problem will be appreciated. -- Ushnell Fenell
