Had a machine crash (I suspect someone put their foot on a cable) as it booted. Reult was it created a set of network drives from G to Z and pointed them all at one folder on the server. When you try and get rid of them (and they appear for all users of the machine) it says "the network...

We have a HP laptop (New) and have just set it up with XP pro and Office and NAV etc. It has a DVD burner and has been used with Nero to burn DVD's. In fact no problems. Then we put in a data dvd from one of the other machines at work and bang it restarts and restarts and restarts. The DVD is...

I've got a group of about 15 identical XP Pro machines on the network. On one that has been detecting quite hapilly a 128 meg USB drive for months there has been (once) a digital camera plugged in. Now the USB drive will not work on that machine. On any of the other machines it is perfectly...

Have a problem on some 98 machines and it keeps happening. The browsers normally connect via a sattelite link and a router. However a new problem has cropped up. They stop connecting for no apparent reason and looking at the script at the bottom of the page they are looking for this thing...

Have a network with about 80 machines attached. This includes about 4 Win98 workgroups. One of these groups has developed a problem. When you open network neighborhood you get an empty window. (not even the "entire network" icon). Other workgroups are fine. What is going on? Any ideas where to...

Help_____I have about 100 machines including a fair number of 98 systems. Recently I seem to be getting more and more problems with Internet Explorer. The basic sign is that when it opens I get a message saying that there is a problem with the settings in the Content Adisor (or words to that...

I have about 4 computers loaded with Win98 that freeze for about 5 seconds every three or four minutes. Most frustrating for users and causing me some grief. I have disabled virus checkers and used Alt/Ctrl/Delete to remove programs running in the background without success. Where the heck do I...

I know I posted this before but this is getting well past a joke. I have 6 Machines running 98 second edition with Office 2000. They are all AMD 800 MHz chips and have 128Meg of ram. The problems crop up while running Office. Without any warning the machine will reboot and the set date and...

Just had 2 machines reboot while using Office 2000. The wierd part is that when they did it the set date and time message popped up before they went back into Windows. The only thing that stands out is that both have had fairly recent upgrades and been given AMD 800Mhz chips. One I was using...

I've just had a look at a small peer to peer network. 3 machines 2 Win98 and one Win95. The Win95 machine I'm told has recently been hit by a virus but I can find no sign of it. One of the 98 machines has a modem and connects in the normal dial up way. The other has no modem and the only sign I...

We have an older Win95 machine on our network that gets a fair bit of use but is constantly being restarted because the Log Off option is missing from the Start menu. Is this normal? All our other Win95 machines have it. I have compared Network settings and all seems to be the same. Where do I...

We have 6 Pentium 120's that are getting a bit light on resources. While they are not vital to our overall system it would be nice if some improvements could be made. The Users manual for the Motherboard (AI5TY) says that it supports SDRAM to 64 meg and it has a slot that currently contains a 16...

We have an Epson 500 colour printer and it's refusing to work as a network printer. It is quite happy to install as a network printer but stops short of working. (It works fine from it's "host" computer.) Anyone got any ideas. We have experimented with printer port capture but...

The Entire Network section of network neighbourhood allows anyone to look at other workgroups on the network. Is there any way of hiding this or removing it or whatever? Andy Holden

I have a number of Win9x computers to maintain. We have the usual problems but this one is new and has cropped up 3 times (and maybe 4) in the last few days. The final lines (up to 50?) of the win.ini file go awol. There is no obvious reason for this, I have updated virus checkers and searched...

If I have two (or more) windows9x workgroups using the same backbone cable, can I make the groups invisible to/from each other?<br><br>NT is not an option at this stage. It needs to be done using 95/98 systems.
