- Hi,
-
- I am running NW 2.2 and some users are running Windows 3.1. From time to
- time the executables stored on the server (PMAIL, SYSCON, WHOAMI, etc...)
- can not be run. Windows reports that the path is invalid or the file could
- not be found. If the user exits Windows the problem persists until the
- user either reboots or unloads NETX.COM. If NETX.COM is reloaded the
- problem goes away until the next time.
-
- The problem is not a faulty path (at login time) because ALL the programs can
- be run, and both FILER and the DIR command will display the files.
-
- This problem does not showup on my machines not running Windows.
-
- Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?
