Ok, I've seen this all over usenet with no real answer but here's my
problem with all that I can find on it. Got 3 servers (DC, Exchange,
App Server) all running Windows2k3 Standard. I have about 50 systems
running WinXP SP2. Just last week I went to install the client for an
application when the client executable file came up with the generic
executable icon (the blue/white one) and when I tried to run the
application it popped back the error, "only part of a
ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed".

Troubleshooting done so far:
1. tested on various machines- approximately 10. Through network
mapped drives the error occurs
2. tested via remote desktop to each server and error occurs
3. tested on the actual server itself (each of them) and the error
occurs)
4. Shut down and restarted each server (naturally in the appropriate
order)
5. Shut down and restarted each switch and the router
6. No errors in network connectivity and no excessive traffic on the
network
7. No event viewer output from attempting to run these applications,
it seems there is no dump to the event viewer to give me some kind of
idea.
8. If I copy the file directly to a local machine it is broken still
(outputs same error locally) but if I copy a working .exe to the
server it works properly
9. Problem executables are all executables- examples are: Client for
accounting application (sage mas 200), CRM Software client install
(sage saleslogix), Time clock software (gneil), fonts (exe unpacker to
the font directory), and adobe reader. It doesn't discriminate.

PLEASE HELP! I am DESPERATE here as the MSKB has offered me nothing,
google has offered me nothing, and usenet has now delivered nothing. I
cannot fathom that this situation bears reinstalling THREE servers in
order to fix the problem. I have no clue now and beg the community for
help.

FWIW: Doing searches on this regarding CDROMS and optical drives
showed that putting the controller mode to PIO fixed the issue. I have
scsi drives (RAID5 config) here and don't think that's truly an
option.

Also the only thing that went on that was not 'business as usual' with
these systems was I made a full backup on Labor Day. I can't imagine
that breaking anything, but please enlighten if possible.

Sincerely,

Christine
