I'm using Win2K pro, SP 3. Everything was fine and dandy, using LiteStep on one non-administrator user account. I installed IIS and the requisite patches to get it "secure" but now litestep hangs on logon. Can't fix it. I uninstalled LS and resinstalled...same problem.

Anybody have any idea what's wrong?

when you uninstalled LS and reinstalled did you boot into the explorer shell?

when I uninstalled, I rebooted, and I did get the explorer shell with no problems. I'd installed LS only on the specific user account, not for all users.

After I reinstalled LS and rebooted, the LS shell was loaded, but hung just as it did prior to reinstallation.

I think it must have something to do with IIS, but I've never had a problem using it and LS before...

have you tried loading liteman.dll?

no, I didn't...

I was able to get IIS & LS removed, did some clean reboots, reinstalled LS then IIS w/patches...all is well.

musta been somethin' weird w/IIS, but it's okay now. Thanks for the help.

best thing to do when installing software from M$ is to do it from the exploder shell. many M$ products don't install clean without it.

Strange... I run w2k sp3 and have had no problems installing software with LiteStep running. I've installed service packs, Office, IIS... You name it.
Perhaps I'm just lucky...

slickhorn, try installing as an admin. give the user account local admin permissions, then install litestep, reboot, and remove the accounts admin rights.
