[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Is "myuser" a valid Windows user ? You need to register an existing Windows username/password with mpiexec.
 Please create a windows user (The same username/password on XP & Vista machines) with administrator privileges and try registering that username/password with mpiexec. Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hello again Mr Jayesh.

I've removed and created new account other than Administrator as below (
myuser), (by mpiexec -register)
then it resulted the same one, I can register but could'nt validate them.

FYI, in my XP machine, there are 2 accounts of administrator role..1)
Administrator 2) hpxp  (we can see it on window welcome screen)
also in my vista machine, there are also 2 accounts of administrator.
I installed the mPICH2  'everyone' not 'just me' features.

the output on my XP machine:
=======================================================

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\myPar>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [HPXP\Administrator]: myuser
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\myPar>mpiexec -validate
Error during CryptEncrypt: Unknown failure 234
unable to encrypt the password for the validate command.

help me please. Thanks.
