Vista - Can not create new user account

The only way I have found to get around this is to use from the command line
the program name Netplwiz. This will let you create and adminster accounts,
the regular gui interface does not work for any function of adding new or
modifying existing accounts on my machine either. To get to command line mode
, click the start button and immediately above it type in netplwiz where it
says "start search"
The program will start and then you can add or change accounts etc.. Good
Luck .

Thanks Rick, that was looking promising until....... exactly the same problem - I apparently have created a new account, but when I go to log in as the new user, I'm almost immediately logged off and taken back to the log in screen again!!

Most frustrating - plus all the vendor support (Sony) can suggest is a complete restore back to 'as supplied from the factory'........ No way! I'll live with being the only user after the pain of installing all my programmes, etc. on the thing!!
