I am part of a group of several dozen engineers all running Windows XP Pro with Autodesk Inventor 11 and all the other usual office app's. On my workstation I have an event occur no one has been able to figure out and it's driving me nUcKiN fUtZ.... :O/
I can be running along and working in Inventor, using Outlook, maybe Word and some other apps, have Chrome and/or IE7 open, and then all of a suddent I get an error message in Inventor that it can't save my file (or something related to the network). I'll open Windows Explorer and all my network drives are GONE! I start shutting down applications and when I get enough shut down, POP, all my network drives are back. I can understand over-taxing the system could result in some response issues, but to totally loose all network connections?!?!?!?! I have been spun all kinds of tales about why this may be happening but I just don't see anything causing my network connections to go poof and be totally gone, and stay gone. Closing the same app's don't always bring it back, either, just seems like closing "some" apps brings it back. And when it happens Task Manager Performance doesn't show my system overly taxed. Startup has been edited recently to better utilize the 3BG Switch with Inventor and this is the current settings : [boot loader] timeout=0 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /3GB /USERVA=2900 /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn Was told the 3GB Switch could allow Inventor to steal resources from the OS so was told to include the USERSVA option to reserve more for the system. Any clues as to why I'd loose network drives like this?
