Thanks to everyone for the advice. One of the passwords I tried finally worked 
for an admin userid, and I changed the other passwords to something plain 
vanilla. I think that machine is getting retired permanently real soon now: 
the one app that wouldn't run in a vmware windows image has now been 
superseded.

Of course, the old printer that is the only one I have WIN2k drivers for has 
also not been used in a year, and is not happy about it., but I managed to 
pull a pdf of last year's forms and smb them across to my linux box.

 I think that machine is getting retired permanently real soon now: the one 
app that wouldn't run in a vmware windows image has now been superseded.
