Absolutely right! have a look here: http://193.175.22.77/bilders/Netzwerke2002/windows2000/winxp.html I´m right now coming from two clients: on the first I wanted to install a Agfa SnapScan for a client in a ADS; the agfa only works when you´re giving administrative rights to the user locally - but it costs us a day working about it to find that out. on the other windows-2000-machine, new installed, all the latest driver and-so-on updated, I wanted to install a UBS HP 1200 with the assistant, saying. "No printers were detected". ok, I installed it by hand, and now it works - but for how long time? my collegue lately deplugged a UPS from a win-2k-server and plugged it in another USB-Slot - suddenly the server was saying: "There is a conflict between hardwareadress and - so on." plugging to the other USB-Slot, then restarting again, everything´s fine again - well, Windows is a very stable, fine and - I don t know the word in english - mature? - sytem .. mo´funny jokes about it? greetings --
