"Logon failure: account currently disabled" during

After a relatively recent upgrade from W2K to XPSP2, I am encountering major problems not previously seen, seemingly only with ViceVersaPro & external drives -

a) I log on with administrator privileges

b) the problem seems to occur between external firewire drives, not local drives

c) NTFS permissions & ownership of all folders, subfolders & files gives full control to administrators

BUT

part-way during a sync the machine locks up and nothing can be written to even local drives, with error message on attempting to read any drive.

The logfile [accessible only after reboot! logout/logon doesn't work] shows some files having been copied OK, then at what is assumed to be the point of problem the entry changes to "Can not change attributes of ... ", referring to a file [in the target] that does not yet exist, in a folder which is not read-only, and which would be a copy of a sourcefile that is neither hidden nor read only, and has ownership by Administrators, and with full control for both Administrators and Everyone!

Thereafter the error message switches to "Can not creat or replace [targetfile]".

Successive attempts at the same project [after reboot] produce the same behaviour, successfully incrementing just one file each time before the target file/folder/drive seems to become locked out.

The MS "knowledge"base sheds absolutely no light on this!

Any suggestions? thanks, Adrian

Sorry, not sure what's the cause of this... does it happen only with VV? Maybe a Google search for "Logon failure: account currently disabled" could help??? Sad

A google search produces plenty of hits (including my post here!), but none is relevant to the particular behaviour here.

The issue is that the XP machine in this case is NOT logging onto a domain or any other server -- the problem arises when logged onto the local system, with full admin rights, and with the relevant drive, folders & files all set full control to everyone!

And the problem only ever arises with VV (v1.3.1), seriously reducing its usefulness!

Did you try the latest VV PRO 2 build 2010? Does is show the same behavior?
