Mapping drive Problems 1

[Coxylaad]

Hi,
I have done a search on the site but couldnt find any similar problems so I will ask the question:

I have a windows 2000 machine and a number of XP pro machines that I am using in a peer to peer network, I am trying to map drive to a shared folder on the 2000 machine with the XP machines. Some of them work no problem, but with 2 XP machines I have mapped the drive and it displays it in My Computer, but when I double click on it it brings a message up that says " Goto control panel to install and configure system components"

I have no idea where to go as that is the most useless information message I have ever seen!

Any help provided will be greatly appreciated


Thanks

Ian

This may be totaly not what your problem is but check out this case when that error can be seen because of AutoRun:
