My wkssvc.dll is 129 kilobytes (this is for XP SP2). I can send it to you
privately if you wish


The portable had wkssvc.dll for SP2, 129 KB, version 5.1.2600.2976.
Copying it over to the desktop, which already had wkssvc.dll of the same
size and specs, made no difference. The portable behaves normally with
respect to networking issues, so I don't think yr file would help. Thanks
anyway.


I went back to site where I first found the discussion of wkssvc.dll and
srvsvc.dll
(http://www.jasonhartman.net/2005/01/problem-starting-server-and.html; eudora="autourl">
http://www.jasonhartman.net/2005/01/problem-starting-server-and.html
), and there are other suggestions, which I will try. Uninstalling and
reinstalling Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing
seems like the most comprehensive of the suggestions, but there are other
spot fixes too.


If nothing works, I suppose I can always spend an evening (or two)
comparing the registry of the desktop to that of the portable to see if
any of the identified critical files are listed differently or not listed
in the desktop's registry.


Winter is a good time for this, since I tend to be inside, where there
are more walls to bang my head against.
