I have XBMC on a range of devices at home, stretching from my AppleTV to my HTPC and all the notebooks/laptops in the house. They all connect to my central home server which dishes out the media to them. Now they all work fine except for my HTPC running Windows Vista.
The problem is this. Every time after I start XBMC, to get a video to play I have to enter the file browser and connect to the shares entering my password (it remembers the username). The password was entered when I added the shares and it is also saved as the default SMB password. I have no idea why it is doing this when all my other devices (mind you none of them running Windows) are saving passwords fine.
Any clues?

I have changed credentials now, to make it easier to enter (added it to the sources list as well, so no need to type password) but the problem surfaced before any such changes were made. I did, however, switch builds a few times, could that have something to do with it?

First: get the latest build from the third party sticky. The error above sounds like the Atlantis build -> known error
second: If it's slow try to disable the firewall and try again (once on client once on server). Somehow it waits for a timeout and I dunno how to fix that.

already using the latest third party build from jester.
And disabeling the firewall does not seem like a very good idea.

I believe their is option in advancesettings.xml to remove stat option which should make it faster.

CrashX: yeah but it shouldn't be a problem. The line is a local gbit lan so the speed should be about the same as that for local listing most of the time.
Disabeling the firewalls did nothing for me.
