We had a peer to peer system using Windows98 with 4 workstations which worked for 10 years with no issues. We moved to 4 new XP Pro workstations (which could make expanded memory) and now we are getting GFEs. We are have now move the application to a workstation but still mapping drive G: to the local drive with all the other workstations powered off and we still receive GFEs.
