Kernel resetting error
« on: February 28, 2006, 07:23:12 PM »
Hello All.  I have SME 6x loaded for my local chamber.  The box has been running fine for months until last week.  Last week the local copier company installed a networked printer on the network.   Now some of the users are occasionally getting errors in Word and Publisher when accessing files on the server.  I reviewed the messages log and this was the only thing I found that was strange:
