I am setting up a new system that is connected to my company LAN. The OS is XP with all MS updates.

When I go into Add-Remove programs on the new system and click on New Programs I get the message that there are no programs to install from the network.

However, when I go to my system and click on add - remove programs and click on new programs I see two programs out there.

is there a setting that i need to configure so that this new system will see those programs. i need install them on the new system.

Thanks,

What's the difference between your PC and the new system? Has it been joined to a domain? Are you logged in with a local user account, or a domain user account?

The only difference between my system and the new system except for the model. they are both Dell systems and they are both connected to the Domain. I am logging in as the Administrator (domain, on the new system,

just for ha has I loggd in as myself (which i am a administrator, domain administrator, enterprise administrator) and lone and behold, add new programs showed up.

I would think that the administrator/domain administrator would have the rights to install programs from the network. is it because i am an enterprise administrator that is allowing my login to see and install those programs?

Thanks for your repsonse, it greatly appreciated!
