Cheers for all the help so far Robert. I'm not too familiar with NTLMv2 and
authentication in general to be honest so you'll have to bear with me. I've
tried the following as it seemed to be along the same lines of the problem I
was having but this user had Vista Business and "Local Security Policy"
doesn't exist in my Administrative Tools"

I didn't previously have a password on my Vista user account so I've tried
adding one but that didn't help. I also saw your post regarding Password
Protected Sharing but turning this on and off makes no difference.
I've now enabled the Guest account as I've seen that mentioned but it didn't
help so I'm off to restart to see if that makes a difference.
Access is still coming and going without changes being made, which is the
strangest thing. When I get access sometimes I can open files, other times I
can't but I've never been able to save to the snap through Vista.
