mprexe errors on 98 Machine in 2k domain

[Alltimed]

I have some Windows 98 machines giving the error mprexe not responding on attempted login. I looked through the microsoft support pages and got a slew of ideas on what it could be. Was just wondering if anyone had some success fixing this error in the past and what they used before I got started.

Thanks in advance.

mprexe and domain

Theres lots of information on it.

I have a few Win98 stragglers that I haven't upgraded to 2K yet on my network. There are times these Win98 users get an mxprex.exe error when trying to log onto the network. Obviously, best answer is upgrade the Win98 machine to Win2K. In the meantime, when the user gets that error, reboot the client computer. At logon screen, type username, password, AND retype domain name. Domain name should already be in the field, but retype it in anyway. That should make it work. If it doesn't, logon once as Administrator, log off, then have user log in-again (still typing in domain name).
Don't ask me WHY this works, it just does. Seemed it started happening after installing SP3 on 2K servers.
Hope this helps.
