    Hi,

    I would like to get some help with a problem we are having.
    I am a PC person who is trying to help a friend to set up a small
    office with MACs.

    Firstly, where is the best place to get info for bugs and F&Q.....?

    Secondly, the problem at the moment is that the server was up and
    running, most services were going well. Than one of the girl in the
    office tried to use WORD and it has frozen on her. Waiting a few
    minutes, she has decided to restart it at the power point.............

    Now, it is booting up to the point where it say "Waiting for
    application services", or something very similar. I am not there at
    the moment!

    I have tried a few things that I have found on the MAC site, yet no
    help.


    PLEASE, someone out there, I really do not want to reinstall
    everything again!

    Thanks a lot,

    Laszlo.

    I STRONGLY advise against using Media Access Controls (MACs)! Try using
    a Mac(intosh) computer instead, moron!

    Hi,

    &#8220;Hmmm, firstly, ignore Enough&#8221;
    Firstly, who is this dude? Did not come across the name yet.....

    Secondly, thanks for the responds!
    Well, the box is a simple out of the box, single proc. 1Gh G4. Silver
    with 512 Mb/80Gb/Super.....
    It has come with OS X and than I just loaded up OS X Server for them.

    &#8220;I am a little confused about...&#8221;

    I am not surprised about it, yet some people want to save by using
    every box is available to them, so they need to use it for checking
    emails and type letters.....

    There has been no other application loaded beside the ones come with
    the box....

    &#8220; ... you have tried a few things...&#8221;

    On the Apple web site I have found a some suggestions to boot up to
    Unix and than mount the volume and copy file into *.old and scan the
    drive....
    I do not have the print out with me, so I can not be more specific at
    the moment.

    Well, that is about it all. I hope that you could give me a new
    direction to explore.

    Yet I am considering just to reload the whole thing. If that is
    something you could help with, would be greatly appreciated.

    Kindest regards,

    Laszlo.
