[Samba] XP not saving profiles

[Matthias Spork]

Hello,

you use any virus-scanner? In my case I had problems with Mcaffe.

You can try this tool to kill all open file-handles:

Otherwise, install a clean windows-box without any userland software. 
Then check logon. If this works, install your software
and check logon after each installation.

kind regards
matze
