are you getting these in the event log?  i get those too, whenever i kick the power cord for my external usb drive.  i think that just means that a drive disappeared all of sudden, and windows dunna like that. i think it’s a good idea to run chkdisk on drives after that happens…good luck.

i am not the brightest bub when it comes to this stuff…....

how do i check the event log?

to run checkdisk start——run——checkdisk???

Thanks!

go to control panel, administrative tools, event viewer.  event viewer log can be cleared. then reboot and look at the app and system logs to see what’s going on with your apps and system.  perhaps the audit log will have a clue on your prob, as it may be some sorta password / authorization thing.  i am not an expert on using these logs, but i have used them to diagnose my system and i have it now where i have only one error, and i know why (running IIS webserver in XP home).  it’s a useful tool.

okay, checkdsk is simple, just go to my computer, select a drive, properties, tools, check for errors.  i like to do this with the system in safe mode…dunno why…superstition…  i also like to have clean drives…lots of crude can muck things up… i also check on defrag in that same menu from time to time….

good luck!

i am an idiot.  i didnt know what you meant by chkdsk.  i know what that it.  i do check that and also do defrags etc….

thanks!

all seems to working well now.  i really think the problem was ip address conflicts etc….
