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. You don't say what type of file you have saved. It is likely that it needed to be re read by the same OS not an older one. You can sometimes overcome this problem by posting the file to an FTP server and re loading it down to the reformatted older OS.

2. You need to setup an account on the server for the 98 machine/user to access the server. The Network printer needs to be set to share.

1. I assume you meant Windows XP. If its a system file it won't work under 98...what file did you copy and for what purpose?

2. You need to configure a user account on the server (I'll guess you already have one though) and configure the 98 boxto logon to the domain when it boots up. Network Neighborhood Properties, make sure the network logon type is CLient for Microsoft Networks, check the properties for Client for Microsoft Networks and check the box to logon to a domain, enter your domain name in the text box. Reboot the PC and logon, you will have access to all the sharees that your user object is permitted to see.
