1. I coppied out a file from a system running in windows exp, format the drive and load win98, when i coppied the file back, anytime i want to open this particular file, the system will freeze, is there anything i can do so that i can open the file without the system freezing.

2. i cnnect a system running win98 to network, the server is running win2000, anytime i want to acess the server, it will ask for password, and i want to use the printer that is on the network that is connected to the server.

1. What file did you copy? If it was a Word/Excel document you will need to reinstall Office on the new Win98 PC. In general, make sure the application that the files uses is on the new PC.
2. As long as you are logging on the server ok, you are half way there. Not sure if you are running on a domain or a workgroup, but either way make sure the printer is shared on the network and your username has been given permission to use it. Same goes for file access to drives on the server - make sure they are shared and you have permissions setup for access.
If these problems are at your work place, ask one of the IS staff to help you.
Hope some of this helps. Good Luck.
