Dear Sir
I'm running a small peer-to-peer network of 4 PCs 2
running Win2000 and 2 WinXP (All PCs are Service Pack 1).

Yesterday I had the same problem with both XP machines
and 1 2000 machine. The properties of My Computer, My
Network Places and Desktop dont't work and neither do
network properties (I can't see the Workgroup or drive
mappings) and applications don't run from Start>>>Programs
but they do from the .exe file.

I've got a firewall and all emails are automatically
scanned with antivirus software but I initally guessed I'd
picked
up a virus as the only PC still OK is the one not using
email services? However, I've scanned all PCs and I've run
various patches
but they haven't found anything wrong.

I'm not sure what to do next-short of re-installing.
Please could you help!

Thanks in advance.
Dave Fleet
