Scenario:

Windows XP Pro;
Standalone, never joined in a domain; but plugged into client's intranet occasionally;
Shutdown normally the night before when standalone;

Now the problem is:
The second morning, at the client?s site, plugged in the network cable, and then turned on the machine. Suddenly, I could not log in locally. The message is: "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively". No matter which valid local user account I used, I was rejected by this message.

Please advise. Thanks.

I tried to log on as Administrator, but got the same message.

BTW, what do you mean by "x2"?

This may sound stupid but try unplugging the network cable then restart comp then logon locally.
