This is just an odd suggestion.. but did you check permissions on the c:\php\sessiondata (or whatever folder it is)? IUSR_Machine needs to have modify on that folder in order to store it's session data... Of course, you can change that path in the .ini to point wherever you want, but by default it's in the same dir as the .exe. I have noticed that on some installs of php (wether with the .exe or .msi or whatever) it fails to set the proper permissions on the folder. I haven't played with PHP-Nuke on Windows NT in near a year, but if I remember correctly, that's how I fixed the admin loop issue on a box I run =\
