Hello!
I have a client with five Windows 2000 Pro workstations, all with the same
level of patches (SP4 and all Critical Updates). The application is on their
Windows Server 2003 file server (plus AD and Exchange 2003), and each
station has a shortcut to it via a mapped drive.
On three of them, their DOS application (CDS stock trading software) runs
fine. On one, each time I try to start it, it gives an error abour an
application trying to directly access hardware and denies the access. I
haven't looked into that one too much yet (not a high priority user). On the
remaining one, every time I double-click the shortcut, it opens a prompt,
shows the program name on the command line to start the program, then starts
to load HIMEM.SYS and hangs...the application. The shortcut is the same on
all the workstations.
Any idea why only one would try to start HIMEM.SYS?
Thanks for helping!
