The logon has been set to not remember the last user., and defaults to Administrator because of a setting for that.
start/run, type: control userpasswords2

Not much to do for drivers that don't work for some device. Find a compatible driver. (see the Windows Update site)
You cannot install some updates or programs: Go to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822798&Product=winxp
