I have an old Novell 4.1 Network Server that houses old account information that needs accessing occasionally. Since I upgraded my computer from Windows ME to Windows XP, one of the main programs I needed to get off the old server is not available. It worked fine under ME. Since XP upgrade I now get the message "Invalid start up directory-Check PIF file". I have looked at the shortcut I placed on my desktop and the properties for the file but don't know what I need to do to change/edit the PIF file.
I've never had any Novell training and relied heavily on the automation of ME & XP to search and connect everything for me. Can someone coach me through what I need to do? Any help will be appreciated. thanks
