Hi Greg -

I don't like the look of your PROCD_ADDRESS setting above for an XP 
machine.  The PROCD_ADDRESS setting points to a named pipe used for 
communication - normally you would never need to change it from what the 
installer program sets up.  Above you have it setup to be a filename in 
the $(LOCK) directory -- that is all well and good on Linux/Unix.  But 
on Windows, named pipes live in a different namespace than the 
filesystem (sigh). It looks like you took the setting for PROCD_ADDRESS 
off of your Linux config file. On your windows machine, shutdown the 
schedd and try changing your condor_config to exactly the following:

   PROCD_ADDRESS = \\.\pipe\condor_procd_pipe

Then restart the schedd.  The above is what PROCD_ADDRESS is set to be 
if you were to run the Condor installer on Windows. Unfortunately, 
PROCD_ADDRESS is a setting that will have a different value on Linux 
than on Windows.

Hope the above helps
Todd
