Running fP on a Windows Server

[Don Coleman]

A client installed a new Windows Server 2003 yesterday.  Their fP
application is run from a .BAT file found on the mapped network drive F to
their previous server.  The new server is configured the same way and the fP
folder plus the .BAT file on the server was copied across the network from
the old to new server.   Both clients are mapped the same way using the same
drive letter (I'm told, I'm not on site) and both clients were joined to the
same domain (a new domain name).  There are two clients on this network who
access the fP application.  The first client is working fine by accessing
the start-up batch file F:\REACT\REACT.BAT.   However, when the second
client accesses the same start-up batch file the menus display but without
the normal color scheme found on client #1 (B/W only).  Seemingly, the
config file is not being read on client #2.  However, the config file is
there, visible from both clients mapped network drive.  Client #2 is also
unable to access any of the fP files.  When they press any menu selection
nothing happens.  Since this is running from the same server and I have not
had them set-up any desktop shortcuts yet to eliminate any possible
differences there.  (I had them delete the previous shortcut icons).
Running fP v5.0.05RN9.

I'm confused and can't see what could be causing this behavior.  Any ideas?
