I get "Error 2245 while trying to do NetUserAdd operation"

Hi all,
I tried installing MSDE 1 and 2 on my system but whenever I try to install it, it come up with the error:
"Error 2245 while trying to perform operation NetUserAdd"
I don't understand why this happens. Can anyone help? I've used msde successfully before but this is a new problem recently. I have an AMD 2600+, with Windows XP Pro, 512 MB RAM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
