windows system error
Lately I've been getting a little dialog pop up by the task tray saying,
"windows system error - duplicate name on network" there is no network, this is my laptop, not connected to any lan any ideas what may be causing that? i had had an autoexec bat with a subst line but recently removed that (by renaming to autoexec.bak and rem 'ing the subst line) ....don't know if that would be causing an error. |
