If it does, make sure this is the same as your XP one.
If it doesn't, do a search for *.pwl and reboot.
You should then be asked for a username and password by Win98, put in the same as your XP account.

It used to ask me for a password but I no longer have it booting up this way. It goes straight into Windows.
on the laptop with XP there is a logon however with password. I am logged in as administtrator.
Do I need to have a password ?

When you shared the Printer, you allowed everyone access.
Your Lappy has Win XP drivers loaded, not Win 98 ones.

They may not be on the same workgroup. I'l have to check that. I'm not too sure how to get them into the same work group, however I know I can access files on my PC from the laptop when I place a folder as shared.
I believe the laptop has the printer drivers for XP for that printer as I've installed them with the CD.
Thanks for all your replies. I'l give it another go tommorow.
