Hi Robert & Chuck,
It is only getting worse
. I took the advise for setting up a password,
but I did it on the Guest account, not wanting to use a password when I
signed into Osiris. I may have done a few other things too, but I did not
write them down. My bad! When I tried to see the files on Osiris from
Snowdancer I still failed and now I have lost the ability to print from
Snowdancer on the printer that is attached to Osiris.
I really need a step-by-step procedure to follow. At each step I need a
test I can execute to confirm that I have performed the test correctly.
TIA,
Bob
