Vista - File access-problem in a vista-XP network

10-21-2007

Hi!
I have a desktop computer running XP and a notebook running vista. The
dektop is connected with a router via LAN, the notebook via W-LAN. Both are
in the same workgroup. Both computer recognize each other and I can see the
files in the shared folders on both computer. However, whenever I try to
access a file stored on the XP machine from the vista notebook (open, copy,
delete), XP gives up: black screen, automatic restart. The other way around
it works fine. I would greatly appreciate if anybody has an idea, whats going
on and hopefully how to solve this issue.

Look in the Event Log on the Vista Laptop and see if you can find the
error message that is apparently causing the BSOD...

You might also want to disable automatic reboot - See
