Menu Creep on NT Server
When using "View As List" on my Mac (System 8.1) when in a directory on the NT Server I am hooked up to, the files appear to be constantly recreating and destroying themselves, making it really hard to catch them with my mouse. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to solve the problem?

what program are you using to view directories on an NT server? dave? PC maclan? if those programs arent properly registered that may be part of their copy protection. of course we always knew PC's couldnt keep track of their files..hehe
ASKER
The NT Server is using MacServices, and I am viewing the files in the standard MacOS 8.1 Finder.
ok so is MacServices properly registered?
ASKER
MacServices comes as part of the NT OS. Everything should be properly registered. Any other ideas?
virus? run a scan.
Hi...
Don't even know if this is going to help you?....
We had a problem with files dissapearing then reapearing (rather more slowly than you describe though) The fault was with a pre v2.2 of Ethershare running on a sparc server that gives out mac mountable volumes. The fault came to light after upgrading to a later MacOS. Upgrading to v2.2 solved it. Maybe Microdaft (er sorry Microsoft) have a patch for the problems you are facing.
I'ts worth calling them i think. (Hope they don't say "call Apple" though, because Apple may say "call Microsoft") been there a few times.

Thanks. I will forward this to my tech director, and let him make the decision about installing the fix on the network. I'm sure he would be more apt to pay Microsuck than use the hotfix, like I would.
