Thank you both for the information. I will have a close look at the cable and attempt to run some serial numbers through google.

Microsoft have a downloadable paper regarding the introduction of Group policies on a 2000 domain: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/management/grouppolicyintro.asp Hope that helps. Russell.

Hope it all works out. Russell.

Greetings. It sounds like the software your laptop uses to link these buttons to the appropriate programs has been deleted/disabled/corrupted. You will I imagine need to either reinstall the software it uses (if you can get it) or use the recovery CD. Which Operating System are you using?

How did you test it? Did you put it back into the server again?

So replace the faulty Drive?

That's a bit of a strange one. Have you run a Virus scan?

Assuming this is a workstation and not a windows 2000 server issue, this really is not the correct forum for that question; but I digress. In the Start Menu folder "Startup", do you by chance have a link to Microsoft Office? It would appear a drive, resource has been changed and it...

To answer rphip's question with my personal opinion I would have to say &quot;yes&quot;. While machines have perhaps made our lives quicker and easier in many respects, I would not necessarily say they have improved the quality of life that we have. That said, it would appear to be...

I spend a lot of time here, but obviously if there is work to be done then you do it. I could never say that time spent here was wasted time, I've gained far more from Tek Tips than I have put in.

That does sound rather strange. Is it possible to delete the Distribution List, re-create it and then add the custom recipients again? My line of thought is that perhaps it has become corrupt.

The distribution list is not a member of itself per chance is it? Does there seem to be a set period of time inbetween the mail being sent again? Has this been occuring for long, or only since a particular recipient was added?

Unfortunately I do not believe so, all you can really do is limit their exchange permissions.
