help please. I have 2 desktops and a laptop on a home network 2xXP machines and 1xVista.My problem is on the vista machine, I have 2 folders already shared on this machine but I want to add another but after clicking "share" and entering share wizard when clicking apply I get a pop up box saying "folder cannot be shared", if I turn off sharing wizard when I then click share, the share box is greyed out, if I try thru advanced option I get a popup box saying "an error occured trying to share this folder..incorrect function"
obviously something has changed since creating the first 2 shares but I have no idea what.
