The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Delayed Write Failed or The Path is too deep."

Asked by jbroughton in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: too, path, deep, write

Okay, this is getting a little crazy.  Here's the senerio - I have a user running XP Pro on a Dell P3 with 384 M of ram.  The PC is part of the corporate LAN.  Everytime she tries to save a file to the primary 2000 fileserver network share she gets "The path is too deep".  If she saves the file locally, no problem.  Then when she tries to drag the file to the server share she gets " Delayed write failed".  This has been tried with multiple files and directories in the structure.

There seems to be a ton of suggestions on the web, but none seem to apply.  And dig this, she was just moved to a different pc running XP in the last 2 weeks as part of our migration.  The old machine was running 2000 and had the SAME problem.  Her files and settings were transferred using the FAST utility.  We have 20+ users on the same platform with no issues.

The hardware on both PCs are the same, right down to the 10 gig disk drive.  The only piece of hardware that was transfered (and is unique to her) was a Iomega Zip drive connected via USB.  While this has been my prime suspect, it does not seem to matter if the drive is connected or not.  

I have checked her account and the rights are correctly assigned.  She is connected to the switch at 100 full.  She is able to send and receive email, but that is on a different server.  Also, if she logs in at a different workstation, no problem.

The only other suspect I can think of is that the workstation settings that got transferred via FAST are somehow causing the problem, or there is an app that is not behaving properly, but the problem occurs immediatly after boot.  All of the apps running at that point are being run by just about everyone else.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
