First off,
Thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions/advice for correcting my problem.
One of these I think was causing my problem.
1. Went to
www.practicallynetworked.com/ and followed their directions on file sharing. It?s possible that I screwed something up there.
2. I have had XP Pro running for a long time. Looking back in some of the stuff I write when I make changes I noticed I did get into ?services.mcs? and made changes but I don?t recall which. I?m leaning more towards I changed a setting in "services.msc".
Anyway got a good deal on a bigger hard drive put that in and installed Pro on it, everything working fine now on that end.
However, now when I get on the internet (dial-up) I can surf around for a while and then I get a message as follows?
? Windows must restart because Remote Procedure Call services terminated unexpectedly.? ? Shut down was initiated by NT Authority System.?
Hopefully this problem is simple!!
