Please Help... I decided to use advanced file sharing with windows XP (all updates & service packs installed)
I have a big problem setting permissions after right clicking on a drive or directory. I have been unable (ever since going to advanced file sharing) to add any users to a specific file or directory. Removal of users and all the other stuff works fine. But.... I keep getting the following error when attempting to add a new user:
Unable to display the user selection dialog. (null)
(this error appears as soon as I click the Add button!)
I also have a similar problem when trying to edit user permissions within administration (under Computer Management) When editing users in an attempt to make an existing user a member of a new group, I get the following error:
An error occurred attempting to create the Object Picker. An error with no description has occured.
I presume both these errors are related.
The rest of this box operates as well as a winxp system can. No problem with applications. This box is VERY STABLE. (except an occasional non-responding program which a normal shutdown)
Incidentally, I have no problem creating new users. (it all has to do with assigning them permissions, or making existing users the member of a new group.) Of course, all these problems are invisible when using the default simple file sharing.
I never would have known this problem existed except I decided to restrict certain portable backup drives from the network by enabling advanced file sharing.
