Why do I get an error when accesing network properties in server 2000
ASKER
Whenever I right click on the network icons [in system tray] or right click on network item and select properties I get an error message. .....system has encountered an unexpected error....
Sometimes the network icons are missing from the system tray until I reboot.
The server has all of the latest updates. We use Symantec end-point security and so far the is nothing reported.
The internet is not used on this server.
Nothing in the event viewer to describe the problem.
There is no error message number in the popup screen when this occurs.
The server is running Windows Server 2000 Standard Edition with servcie pack 4.

After a reboot the network properties stay for about a few days then are trashed again.

Can you tell us what the error is?
Did you check the event viewer? Any strange things happening there? Any warnings?
Have you rebooted?
Are you up on your service packs?
Do you access the internet often with this server/computer?
Do you have any anti-virus and anti-malware/spyware on this server/computer?
Can you run one? Goto http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ and install
or goto www.malwarebytes.org and install. You can also run superspywarescan.
Any more information would be great.
Thanks
