Hi,
Has autodisconnect or oplocking been turned back on. Check for faulty switch, NIC or cabling.
Has the user changed some directory rights.
Turn off all Virus & spyware and test.
Has write caching been enabled on workstation and or server.
Does the app work if you double click on it via explorer, if so check the shortcuts.
Check for addins in Internet explorer, there are some new exploits that cause problems, and are very difficult to remove.
Do they have a DNS configuration error.
Check the HOSTS file for unusual entries.
Delete foxuser.

Although they say they haven't changed anything, they have. It is up to you to find out what, and charge accordingly.

The user claims "nothing has changed" :) Anyway, after trying a few things and always getting the same result we wrote a one line program to display a messagebox() only. Compiled to exe and tried to run it. Same result - a message box pops up (not ours) with title "Program Error" and message "Invalid path or file name". Buttons Cancel, Ignore, and Help. None of these help - the program crashes with c5 error.

The user is running AV and has anti-spyware. All the usual suggestions have been made like turning off the AV but to no avail. I thought I would put it out here on the UT for any other possible suggestions.
