I wrk for a company that has a server with Windows 2003. There are multiple
2000 and XP users who map drives from the server. Now here is where the
problem begins. 2000 has no problms at all mapping drives. XP however has
an issue with one folder. No matter what letter you pick, when you map the
drive you get an error message "Setup requires a different version of
windows. Check to make sure you are running setup on the Windows platform
for which it is intended. Error 102" First of all im not running any type
of setup. Im merely mapping a drive. This error occurs regardless of what
drive letter you pick. And the really weird part, is once mapped the drive
will open in Explorer or any other mode EXCEPT through My Computer and double
clicking on the drive. If you right click the drive and hit open or explore,
both will open the drive just fine. You double click and you get the error.
When you right click the drive you also get an "autoplay" feature which makes
no sense being its a folder on the server. It acts like it has lost its
association. Like if a JPG file is associated with nothing it wont open, but
if you tell it to open with paint then it will. Its really weird and after
weeks of searching i have found not a single similar problem to this one i
can relate or get help from. It just plain makes no sense. I am going to
unshare and reshare the folder when everyone leaves and see if that helps,
but it works fine in 2000 currently and not in XP just in my computer. Any
help would be greatly apprecaited.
