Sharing error

[Guest]

I seem to have lost my ability to share folders. Any file or folder that I
try and share out results in a stop & the following error message:

"An error occurred while trying to share <file or folder name>. The data is
invalid. The shared resource was not created at this time."

I have tried stopping and starting the "server" service, to no avail.

Any advice, short of re-installing the OS, is much obliged.

Thanks
Kyle

Ok ..here is some help .. this prob happened to me and the only way I
found to solve it was to uninstall the "file and printer sharing" and
the "client for microsoft networks" then reinstalling it again. here r
the steps:
1. go to my network places,
2.press on view network connections
3.right click on local area connection and choose properties
4.mark on file and printer sharing for microsoft networks and press
uninstall, (will ask for restarting press no restart later)
5.mark on client for microsoft networks and press uninstall, (will ask
for restarting , this time press ok and restart the PC.)
6.after restarting and logging in go for the local area connection and
press right click and properties and press install.
7.choose services and press add then choose file and printer sharing
and press ok.
8.press install again and choose client then press add, choose client
for microsoft networks and press ok.
9.try to share your folders and hope it solves your problem.

hope it may help you and good luck
