QMTerm on new Windows XP Home install

[Jon Wells]

Hi Martin,

I'm able to bring up QM Console which may suffice for now. 

I did check the 'Event Viewer'.  The error code would indicate a problem with my username so it seems unaware of my Windows account name.  The link you sent me talks about checking 'Local Security Policy'.  As far as I can tell, XP Home does not provide that.  I have not tried setting up Accuterm yet.  I'm wondering if this will be affected by all this as well?

Cheers,
Jon Wells

If this is XP-Home, many users set it up without usernames and passwords but Windows does not allow a network connection (including looped back to the same system) without authentication.
 
If you are still introuble, visit http://www.openqm.com/cgi/lbscgi.exe?T0=h&t1=kb.00004 for some guidance.

Hi Jon,

 

All aspects of user authentication on Windows are handled by the operating system. We simply pass the supplied username and password to Windows as part of creating the QM process. Using AccuTerm instead of QMTerm will make no difference.

 

Which of the error codes listed in the KnowledgeBase article did you get?
