I've been fooling arround with vista for some time now, aside from the explorer crashes, everything looks fine, execpt one thing: i still can't connect to my shared drives in my win 2k3 server. further more when i try to install any network clients like microsoft client network for instace, a popup windows appears saying that i haven't the right privileges to do it (i'm admin what a heck!) Could not add the requested compoment. The error is: Acess Denied anyone can help me with that?
