the files on the other computers are not dependants on the server. the files are just on the computers on each users. they are connected through lan and routers. some of the computers are having an error on svchost.exe that reads "The distribution at 0x77fc9def referenced memory at 0x7c54144c. The memory could not be "written". Click ok to termintate the program." And oh, some files on the folders are not to be seen. I've clicked on the folder options to see if the files are hidden but still doesn't show up. Even if it sez, 10 objects (3 hidden).
