No such directory.
Closest is C:\windows\system32\ then no 'printers' folder.
or if I try:
C:\windows\system\ no 'printers' folder. Just on called NLS
and " If it's there whack it" Sorry, don't understand. it what? Delete any files
found in that directory?
IN more research, here's what I think my problem is from. I have a work PC. It is
set up by our all powerfull and knowledgable techs. It has a Corporate version of
Norton that expects to retrive updates on a LAN (I'm not on the expected LAN, it
is a stand alone at home) it is looking every aprox 3 min for an update. Norton site
admits the version (v.7.60. something ) I have has a problem and locks up while doing
that. My solution is to drag the box back to work and have them update Norton. The
LAN people have latitude on how often it checks. They did not have to select every
200 seconds or so. I used filemon to see the activity and pinned to to Norton then
found the info on their site.
Again solution is to get my Norton anti-virus updated.
