I just can't win here!
The machine that has been the object of so much torture (the user isn't helping!) Is not responding like I had hoped. I ended up formatting it last week, reinstalling the Service Pack and other crap and then installed the applications the user needed. All seemed fine (deja vu from the other day when I made the previous changes) and I hoped this would solve her problems.

I get a call this morning... "can't print, the fu**ing thig is locked up again and every time I try to print it locks up. FIX IT!"

I go and restart the computer and print the document. Nice and easy but the goddamn computer will have the exact same problem in 10 minutes or so if she tries to print again. I edited the lmhosts file again and am waiting for a phone call from her again.

I am running off to beat my head against a wall somewhere. I'll be back later.

Oh and through all of this the 3 XP Professional machines are working just fine.

blah.
