[lgkahn]

after upgrading throught he program to the new version and on reboot couldn't not log into my nt box let it sit for about 20 minutes...

restored the box off tape.. ok working again..

downloaded and re-installed latest version.. on reboot same issue..
cannot log into the box.. get prompt but after entering user name and password just hangs forever..

any ideas.

 this is one of the few programs that *used* to still work with windows nt...

Hmm, it should still work with NT4. It sounds like an incompatibility with some other program installed on your box (although if the previous version works, it's not too likely as there've been very just a very few changes in the file system filter driver that may be causing this).

The sad thing is that NT4 has so limited debugging capabilities. If it was at least Win2K, I'd tell you to generate a dump file for me; but in the case of NT4, I'm a bit unsure how to find out what's causing the problem...

One thing: does the problem happen if you don't install the Standard, IM and P2P Shields? (i.e. select "Custom" during installation, and uncheck these three checkboxes).


Thanks
