    it was assigned a static IP from day one of being setup. All of my servers are. turns out, I think it was a DHCP issue. Somebody adjusted one of the ranges so that it overlapped the ip of that server... On top of that, the reservation I had set(just in case) was removed as well. So another machine got that IP and caused no end of confusion... I fixed the dhcp ranges and the issue seems to have went away. No, I did not kill the guy that did it, yet. Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

    Roger, Did you ever solve this problem? I had a similar issue. Turns out IE was thrashing the disk. Its temp file location became confused. Reset back to defaults and it fixed it. Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

    You could do what others have suggested or just get a subscription to https://logmein.com/[^] From WIKI (logmein is blocked at my company) LogMeIn remote access products use a proprietary remote desktop protocol that is transmitted via SSL. An SSL certificate is created for each remote desktop and is used to cryptographically secure communications between the remote desktop and the accessing computer.[4] Users access remote desktops using either the LogMeIn Ignition stand-alone application or a web portal. The web portal requires either an ActiveX plugin for Internet Explorer, or an extension for Firefox (the LogMeIn plug-in for Firefox), or an extension for Safari (the LogMeIn plug-in for Safari), failing that it falls back to requiring Java in order to run a Java program,[5] and failing that it falls back to "a screen-shot-based HTML remote control".[6] The web portal also provides status information for the remote computers and, optionally, remote computer management functions. The service connects the remote desktop and the local computer using SSL over TCP or UDP and utilizing NAT traversal techniques to achieve peer-to-peer connectivity when available.[4][7][8] Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

    It's probably checking for some dependency that either isn't present or is a different version than what is required... or you're trying to launch an x64 executable in an x86 machine (the other way around SHOULD work but maybe Windows is now blocking it by default). Must be a new Windows "feature".
