Okay, when you spend good money to buy an OS like Vista, you expect it to work and work well. I do not upgrade because I like dishing out extra money, I do so because the OS is supposed to bring benefits to my computing experience. Not daily crashes.

Seriously. My vista-driven computer gives me the blue screen at least once a day. I am appalled.

This OS is absolute junk. Not even a beta release candidate. Period.

DJ : Actually I have that because of you dorks. Only TW server I know of runs off of Win98.

R5: Yeah, well Sodoku and Tetris come with most OS systems. I was more thinking games like Civilization IV or Starcraft II or Warcraft III or whatever. Those type of games.

My employer sold off some old Pentium 4 machines so I bought 3 and cannibalized into a machine to try out Linux, which is what I’m using to post this comment.

It’s a little rough around the edges, but it works. But here, too, adding and mapping drives is “stone knives and bear skins” administration.

Maybe such tasks are cultural universals, destined to be mysterious on all platforms.

FYI, the Mepis 7 distribution has 8 games. The Tetris game, is decent, and there is Sudoku, too.

Why do you have a Win98 box?

Kevin, have you looked at the properties of the mapped drive? Have you registered your copy of Vista so that you are entitled to free support? Have you consulted the Microsoft support groups online (chat groups)? I’ve found them very helpful. Are you working from an “administrative account” on the PC? That’s caught me more than once in XP. Are you running the version of Vista (Vista Pro or whatever) that permits what you’re trying to do?

This sounds like bitter whining after an upset Kevin got home from a disappointing Wild game last night
