    cannot login with guest!

    I cant login using my winxp pro guest account. it says "the local policy of this system does not allow you to logon interactively".
    Now I've looked in group policy and Guest accounts have the right to logon interactively. So what the heck is wrong here? Why cant I login with guest?

    Look in User Accounts and see if the Guest account is disabled. It is by default when you install Windows XP.

    This is the actual error you would get if the Guest account was disabled.

    robdog888 you would only get that error if you were running windows 2000 as he said in his first post it is "windoes xp pro"

    If you were using the welcome screen then you wouldnt be able to click on it in the first place and if you were using the login dialog you would get a similar message but not the same just had to make a point of saying tht
