Re: domain login issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for all your help Richard
In making some of these changes (which I havent completed yet). I have some
users saying they start up thier application they use alot and it freezes.

What happens is there is a mapped drive that the program accesses. At that
point if I try to open the mapped drive it says its already in use.

They have to reboot once or twice to get it working. Is that related to the
DNS issues I am having?

Thanks,
Ryan
