I am running Win2k advanced server on two machines. One that is an old clunker that runs better then my new-one (go figure) runs freaking great! However on the mopar power PC every time I try to copy and paste a file into a new directory explorer crashes on me! Any one else have this problem? After two clean installs and the server pack same issue! This is my only peeve of win2k so far! I have one of my drives partitioned for operating system / programs could this be my issue? Thanks... .. ....... -sp

I have not heard of this happening before. Is this the only time it crashes. Or does it crash unexpectly other times.

starting to get a feel for this 2k now most of those sudden crashes about 85 percent of the time from my experiece thus far is either hardware or ram. if it is working on your old tried and true well that says something. it is not 2k i do not believe. i love this thing.

I'm having the same issue on my PC at work - I'd buy the hardware theory, except for the fact that the guy next to me is on a PC configured EXACTLY (hardware and software) like mine, and he has no troubles whatsoever...anyone else have any theories?

See....he meant hardware malfunctioning! YOu may have the exact same hardware...but maybe yours has a problem, such as a faulty fan, hard drive problems....because a clean install 2 times really eliminates the possibilty of software corruption I would check the internal temperature, maybe check the memory....because if u copy something that isn't huge...its usually in memory...and that space is usually the same starting address each time... Those are my 2 suspects anyway.

Great diagnosis Dave. EXACT same hardware!! haha don't think just because the machine look and have the same stuff in them means they'll act the same heat causes crashes all the time... Faulty Power supplies can cause funny events... Get it checked out
