But i don't understand. Why would 'remember my credentials' tick box be there
if it does not do anything.
At least in the home edition of XP it was not shown to confuse you.

I have tried to find a resolution to this problem for about a year and a
half now. and i have only found one:
1. Backup documents data onto a server (or external disk)
2. Format disk (Vista wont even allow installation of XP when running)
3. Insert XP Pro disk and install.
4. Rstore data.

I was foolish to purchase vista, and only have myself to blame. Being on the
upper knowledge of computers i am ashamed and embarrased that i purchased a
computer with vista.

But all is now resolved, i have XP Pro on all machines (apart from server:
server 2003 SBS), and must say that all is working seemlessly!
