Cannot log into XP Mode

Kari said:

Crimson, it's true what you say. However, XP Mode is intented to business users and in the business world nobody can even think of using Windows without the password.

Wrong. In business or for whatever use. If somebody does exactly what I did disabling password in user accounts, XP mode basically becomes unusable. Therefore, it is an issue with XP mode. Not the user. Users whether in business or not should have the option to disable passwords without problem. If not, then the ability to disable the password should not be there. Eithe way, the option to disble password is there, and messes XP Mode up when you do it. That is a glitch.

don't create any additional accounts and XP Mode logs you always automatically in with the default XPMuser credentials.

I never created additional accounts. I only disabled passwrd for XPMuser.

There is a way to use XP Mode without the password. You just have to disable the integration features. If you do so, then my question is why do you need the XP Mode? Without the integration features it's just a toy.

XP Mode is important in order to install and run XP software that isn't compatible with W7.
It doesn't matter if you're using XP, Vista, or W7, when you install the OS, they always force you to create a default user instead of give you the choice. This is probably meant for users who don't know what they're doing. Ever since I started using XP, I always installed it, logged in as Administrator, and delete the default user and whatever folders are associated with it. Same goes for W7. I use only Administrator with no users. If I do have a password, it's to prevent my psycho roommate from sneaking into my room and reading my diary which is also password protected. Otherwise, I leave the password off so that Windows logs on automatically when I boot my computer up. I have never ever ever used anything other than Administrator as my main and only account. It's pointless to have any other account unless you have other people using the same computer that you want to setup extra user accounts for. If you're the only user, it is a totally pointless waste of time to use any account other than Administrator.

Of course it is a glitch. I logged into XP Mode. Then, I turned off the password. Then it stopped working. That should not happen. I don't care if it uses remote desktop or not. This should not happen. It should either allow me to take off the password without crashing. Or if that is not possible, there should be no option to do remove the password. If, removing password causes it to crash while integration is enabled, why have the option to remove it? Because it is a glitch.

I might make a software where the user clicks a button, and a picture of a ball pops up. Why not make it so that the user clicks the button, and the software crashes? That is what is going on here. User clicks a button, and XP Mode crashes. Glitch. You're claiming that it is not a glitch because the user is not supposed to click the button. Not realistic. Anything that causes a software to crash when the user does something should not be there.

This is the first time I'm hearing about changing a setting in Local Security Policy. What do you mean? So what is the purpose of having integration features on? If I can do everything with it off, I might as well just turn it off.

Glitch or not glitch. Whatever you want to call it. There is an option to remove the password. And this option causes the software to crash. Either the software shoult not crash when this option is chosen. Or this option should not be there. It is a glitch or whatever you want to call it to give users an option for something that causes the program to crash.

Other than that, you're saying that changing this Local Security Policy setting will allow me to turn the password off without crashing the program?

Hi,
I have 3 or 4 posts here now but hopefully Kari will notice. I have the virtual machine running, the xp mode running. I can add in new xp mode users so i have xp mode 1, 2, etc. I cannot get the sucker to open to the xp desktop. I read the posts here and the only user in my system is me. I dont have a XPMuser account? So how do i start XP mode? It is there, it is running or hibernating but i cant get it to open up?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there, I am back. Ok, did a full format, reloaded things exactly as I was told and XP mode worked. Loaded in programs to XP, they worked. Next day I could access them, they worked. Today I added in my office programs for Win 7 programs, etc, and suddenly XP does not want to work anymore. It does not come out of hibernation, just like before. This is a major drag for me as I need both systems for my work. Any new ideas of commentaries out there with this problem?
