Hi
I have a problem connecting a Vista Home Premium computer to a Windows 98 mapped network drive on the 98 machine. They are both on the same network. The drive is mapped fine on the the Vista computer and the files can be seen however when I run a program from the mapped network drive it says the file is missing.
I have checked the drive mapping and it is exactly the same as on a windows XP computer that runs the program fine.
Any suggestions ?
What Program are you trying to run over a network?
If your sharing a folder on a vista machine from Windows 98 that has a program inside it, then you may get the message that it cannot find files, as you wont have access to the system32 folder on Vista.
My advice is to create a new user on vista and log in with that over the network, but first, give that user account admin rights for these the folder you want, plus the C drive.
