Having problems installing or uninstalling programs in Win NT 4.0. If RAS, PcAnywhere and Norton Anti-virus are not working. If I am in network properties it also hangs. Any solutions?

2 items comes to mind, install the newest driver for the nic's that you are using and re-install sp6a after that.

I know the setup of pc-anywhere starts with a 16 bit executable, I don't for sure of the others ( i thought nav 5.0 was also 16 but, so it might be also that you are having problems with 16 bit programs in your system. You might check also if the path evironment in nt (in properties of my computer) is too long.

write down the configuration of the network card, uninstall the networkcard (make sure you have the correct drivers).reboot, check if you have any error messages in the evntlog.
Then install the nic again with the newest driver, and reboot, install sp6a, reboot, and check for any error messages in the eventlog.

The problem that I was having was that "The Service Database is currently locked".

I have PcAnywhere 10 loaded and Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 8.1 I will try updating the NIC drivers and go from there.

When I tried to update the network card driver I received the following error (Configuration operation attempt failed). What would cause this error?
