I'll try my best to answer your questions.. Olajide doesn't seem to have enough time to actually try to understand what you are saying The process32 bug Olajide was talking about only affects 3.2 and not 3.1, so you're safe . About that Invalid Parameter thing, I used to have that sort of error too, when I was on Win ME (), the solution I used to use was, run "subst w: /D" in MS-DOS Prompt after shutting down the server with Stop.bat. Stupid Microsoft seemed to have included a broken copy of subst with Win 9x / ME . By the way, it's perl not pearl Olajide gave those instructions as he thought you were running 3.2, there's no uniserv.exe in 3.1 (which is what you said you were using)
