Ok, Ive just bought a new Laptop, which comes with vista (Ive lost my windows XP disk!, so i am finally forced to use it for "windows things" :( . Im gonna be installing Ubuntu on the second half of the disk later for my main stuff (really NOT looking forward to that! but should rock on this when setup though :)
However i hoped as this new Lappy comes with vista and is all-powerfull i would have less problems...
(Ive tried vista before on my other (vista barely-capable) PC for a few months and eventually went back to XP when nothing seemed to work right)
Ive been using it for 10 minutes and have already got problem NO1:
Here it is: (this would work first time in XP)
My computer > map network drive > x:=\\lin-server\progshare
"My computer > map network drive > u:=\\lin-server\utils
Ok, fine that worked after a few are you sures
got my file windows showing all my files.
however, when i try and run any exe or install from eg.:
"u:\avg\avginstall.exe"
i get:
then it says:
Eh?!?!?
[edit] But it can obviously see them as it lets me copy them to my documents???!!!
