mystery file

[cbcb52]

My Office network , works with five computers . In one of them I
run an old Pentium 3 , with 384 MB memory .
No problem at all with the old puter ; At startup ,the 4 client
computers copy the content of a folder at the server ( 16 files ,44MB)
This is the way it works so that all of them have the same version
of a program ( updated at night ).
Now , the Pentium 3 cannot copy 1 file from the the folder above
( at the server )server (16Mb) .It stops copying because " the network
path is no longer valid ".
I don´t use mapping ( no need to ) and I can copy all other files
from this folder.
The files in the folder are not in use ( they are there just for
copying ) ; I can copy any other file from this folder to Pentium 3 ,
but not this one . Even manualy it won´t copy , " Network path ..."
I happens with this machine only ; last week I formated Pentium 3,
and - surprise - problem persists .
The only way to copy this file is with a pen drive , and copy to P3.

Not a big problem but it nags me . And I hav no idea of how to solve
this mistery.
all machines , XP PRO SP2.

thanks for your input

Have you checked the file permissions for the particular file in
question?

If not - do so - by right-clicking on it (in Explorer) and choosing
'Properties' then check out the 'Security' tab.

If NOT users=read permissions or above OR everyone=read permissions or
above then set (Add) one of these generic user names with read (or
above) permissions.
