Re: Permission problems Need some help please

Was the original install of Windows 2003 a new install or an upgrade install?

If an upgrade, then the newer Windows version allowed you to continue to use the some of the prior
Windows OS version file permissions, which are not present when you format new drive in the current
version.

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing
a Service Pack or security update, please contact

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.
