Does the above occur when invoked from the command line?
Does your /etc/passwd have an entry for "Owner"? If so, then please
post it. If not, then try the following:
$ mkpasswd -l -u Owner >>/etc/passwd
Note:
1. If Owner is a domain account, then use mkpasswd -d
2. If Owner corresponds to a Windows user with a different name, then
use the Windows user name instead above.

Maybe. Note that I do *not* have access to XP so I cannot debug this
myself.

The default bash prompt is user@machine. If "Thought1" is your machine
name, then the above is OK.

No problem. Sorry, for the slow response time, but weekends are tough
for me to get near my computer. :,(
