Got Service Pack SP6a (128 bit encryption, but not the check build version)
installed on Windows NT 4.0. It does work better now. My student copy of
Pro/Engineer now functions. I am still looking for a copy of AutoCAD 2000
or 2000i full version, registerable copy, to buy.

However, I have as yet been unable to get the shared file/folder/drive
option to work in the setup panel. And when I try to expand the drive size
of the C drive, it says the free space index is corrupt and I need to run
ScanDisk.

I have run Norton Utilities for Windows version 2001 on the machine and
installed it. I don't seem to have ScanDisk on this version of Windows. I
do have ChkDsk and have run that several times. I will see if ScanDisk can
be downloaded and if it will fix the problem.

I started with Orange PC 3.1.1 and did the upgrade to 3.4.2 from their
download site. That left  me with a D drive that was invisible to the Mac
and was apparently causing other problems. So I used the setup panel to get
rid of it. It had Windows 95 and 98 files that I do not believe I needed.

Once I get the drive size enlarged to 1600 Mb (it is currently 800Mb) I
will be able to add a couple of other Windows applications that my wife
needs in order to check web design. I will need to buy a router and figure
out how to configure the IP addresses of the Mac and the Windows machines
so that each one is independent. Or maybe, I should let the router do that.
I've never done this so I'm not really certain. I real learning process.

How people survive on the Windows side without an IT person or tech support
is beyond me. Maybe that's why IT guys are so hostile to Macs: they know
they would be out of work.
