2916.0. "mprexe.exe crashing!?" by TRUCKS::BURY () Wed Apr 30 1997 13:31

	I have a desktop PC at my home and a HiNote for roaming etc. and when
	necessary I network them to share shares. Recently the desktop has
	started behaving strangely after what I suspect is a partial disk 
	corruption (drivespace to blame???). Symptoms are
	- network is up between both (ping etc OK)
	- hinote can access shares on desktop
	- when attempting to map from desktop to hinote get illegal operation
	  (page fault) from mprexe.exe and generally windows falls to pieces.
	- I've noticed no other symptoms or side effects in other apps e.g.
	  dial-up n/w works just fine (Exchange, internet etc etc)
	
	I've tried a few things:
	- reinstalled W95
	- changed network card/drivers
	- changed SCSI card (have had some doubts about that for some time)

	but the symptoms remain the same. It's not a complete show stopper
	as I can 'push' files from the hinote but it's a pain in the
	lower regions.

	Any thoughts???

Cheers,
John Bury

	I think there is a problem and fix in the Microsoft knowledge base for this. Search for mprexe.exe. I think it's something to do with your password file. (.PWL) mike
