Don't hold back, Phil. Tell us what you really think. :-) Did it do this from the get-go or after you loaded up the printer drivers? I've had printer drivers cause problems on my '03 server. I've never seen them lock up the server though. As long as you have the '03 to fall back on, why not start from scratch and see if you can identify what's causing the problem? -Paul

I'm needing to vent!!! Right now I'm ready to throw the damn thing in the lake. I have had nothing but trouble with it for 3 months. One of the big reasons I got it was the so called ease of printing. What a bunch of BULL that is. Nothing but trouble, especially with HP printers shutting down the spooler. Right now the server freezes up. Can't get to task manager to see what is going on. Logs don't tell anything. I have to hold the off button to shut it down. There are some features I like but generally it is a pile of C R A P !! I have my trusty old 03 Terminal server to fall back on. NEVER have an issue with it. Same programs running on it. The venders say there software is compatible but I truly doubt it or it I'm going to take 08 off of it and go with 03, my only choice at this time. 3 months of explaining to management and users this and that, I'm starting look like a dumb ass. Any way that's it. I feel better now.!! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
