From: Mary Oakes on 15 Jul 2008 22:33 I failed to mention to both of you that these machines are my first experience with the 64 bit version of Vista. Please note that I can serve the network with an XP-Pro box AND my Vista laptop running the 32 bit Ultimate version of Vista. The 64 bit workstations run just fine with the XP-Pro and 32 bit version of Vista as the server. Also the error the hangs the app is with plain ole windows explorer.exe not internet explorer. Also, the compatibility mode suggested by HP did not help at all. Thanks for the input into this...I really need to get it straightened out. Mary
From: Geoff Schaller on 16 Jul 2008 00:38 Mary, Ok then, the error is nothing to do with anything Willie or I suggested :-). Sorry - I now see you meant the standard windows explorer. Again, being 64 bit is irrelevant because my box is a 64 bit OS on Vista. So instead, let's investigate what IS different on the 64 bit box. Where is the data being shared from? A new folder on the root or from somewhere on the machine? Being Vista, are you using a Vista-safe location? We spoke about this in Thomson. One difference on a 64 bit machine is that there are now two Program Files folders (one for 32 bit and one for 64) and there are in effect two registries also. At what point in the application does it hang? How about putting in those debug outputs I showed you to find the exact point the app crashes. This is likely to help narrow down the problem.

From: Arne Ortlinghaus on 17 Jul 2008 04:49 On my our Vista Computers sometimes runtime errors do not generate a standard error dialog but give these "hang" messages. Some other times the same runtime errors do display in the normal VO way. Vista seems to be a bit more sensible to runtime errors. Until now I do not know what is influencing this.

Hey Everyone, Thank you for the comments and thoughts. The problem was simple sharing. It apparently cannot be used on this version of Vista. You have to share with password protection and create account(s) and password(s) on the server with administrator rights that match the account and password on each workstation, also with administrator rights. "If you have password protected sharing disabled, use the File Sharing window to select the Guest or Everyone account. This is equivalent to simple file sharing in Windows XP."...works in Vista Ultimate not in 64 bit version even though everyone is shown with full control as permissions. Willie, this was your suggestion the other night. The only thing is I still had user account and password protection turned off so it didn't make any difference. Geoff thanks for the input. The material from the master class continues to be invaluable... Mary 0 |
