I think this is actually a problem with your NT machine.  If you have
installed Service Pack 3 (look at the blue screen at boot time) you'll
need to make a change to the registry.

See 	http://www.microsoft.com/KB/Articles/Q166/7/30.htm   for the
details about the bug/feature of the service pack and how to fix it.
