Also, as i recently went through this myself, before doing the changes
below, be sure to install all the patches,( I did a cold boot between each
patch addition) then make the changes. Its my belief thats why i was getting
the dreaded ssiact.386 not loaded error msg. One other thing i did, not sure
if it was related or not, was that i had installed W2K as a dual boot with
win98. in the directory, i renamed the windows directory windows.old , then
after installing TS4 and all patches and verified TS working, renamed the
directory back to windows. No problems yet.. Come on Dynastore/Esig combo!
Regards,
KJH
