Good afternoon,
I have only one user with this problem. User running WinXP Pro - logon authentication server = NT4.0 - mapped drives from login script point to data on a Win2K server (all service packs & updates installed)

When he tries to savea document via a mapped dirve, sometimes it will save, other times it will hang his system and not save.

In the Event Viewer (System), I noticed this error: "The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\COMPUTER NAME."

Does anyone know what this means?

Thx much....

Rod

Does this user have a roaming profile. Assuming he has this error wherever he logs from. Try rebuilding his profile. If this doesn't help delete the user and recreate him. Hope this helps

No, this user does not have a roaming profile. I have deleted all his network info and renamed his machine - didn't work. I will look at deleting/recreating his network user account.

Thx Joe
