Do you have a network administrator looking after shared resources? sounds
like a computer that perhaps has not been assigned to a specific person? If
you have a network admin I'd contact him or her.

If you do some minor computer cleanup you will alleviate a lot of problems.
If you delete all the files and folders in your C:\documents and
settings\user name\Local Settings\Temp directory. You may have to show
hidden files to be able to get to the directory.
