Ok here is a good one for you all.
New client
Small Buisness Server 2003
Some 98 some XP PC
everything working when pc were shut down last night
In monring 2 of the pc can not open there main software which is basically a
short cut on desktop to exe on server not installed locally
When you click on shortcut hourglass comes up for a sec and goes away, if
you hit ctl alt del to see whats running in background it says that the
program is even though can see it.
So call tech support and they said to scan for virus, spyware, clean out
temp etc so did that no help
So then i went and tried other exe on server from these 2 pc same thing. NO
exe will open up on desktop through network although computer does show ALL
of them as running in background
So then I had the same user log on to different pc and it worked. Then I had
different person log with there username to pc not workin and they worked.
So then I though maybe local profile on the 98 pc so i renamed it and
restarted causing it to make new profile did not work.
Then I made new user on server did not work.
Now they all have norton on them but possible an email with virus as open in
morning but did not do anything as they though norton had caught and was the
w32.beagle and they have also had the w32.netsky in the past. I have no
idea what else to try but reinstall Windows 98 but what if it is something
to do with server profile? But if that was the case why can they open the
exe no problem when logged into different pc and other people can log on to
t rouble pc no problem its only when they are usiing there own pc. Can't be
computer account as there is not one when its 98.
If anyone has any idea please let me know thanks
