Server 500 error - can't find password file

I have xampp running on two machines, both working fine... except.

On one machine when I enter 'localhost' in my browser it puts up a password dialog, and then fails with:
[Fri Jun 30 11:34:47 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified. : Could not open password file: C:/Program Files/xampp/security/xampp.users

The file doesn't exist on either machine, but only one machine asks for a password. Why is it doing this?

Other than this, it works fine. My php applications run fine, mySql is working etc.

Are they both the same version of xampp and same Windows version?

Both 1.5.3a, both WinXp SP2. And the problem machine was working fine, I don't know what triggered it to suddenly start asking for a password.
