Yes, I'm NT Server. I don't see that message often anyway, mostly ISOs and Cannot Update Cursor. They're all related, I'm sure, though, and appear to be client-side, as you say. Never, ever, have I seen this on hundreds of Win9x WS over years of use. Strictly an NT problem here, and independent of hardware...

Al gave me a good pointer this morning on Opportunistic Locking, I'll get back to it as soon as the ILOVEYOU crisis is over :)
