[QUOTE="robgendreau, post: 1366306, member: 196508"] Take a look at this; it should help. The problem is probably that you already set up a user account BEFORE using Migration asst, so it wants to create a new one. It's usually best when setting up a new machine to use the Setup Asst, the thing that runs when you first turn on the computer. I know, confusing, but Migration Asst is designed to not overwrite an existing account.
