Our network spans accross the entire province, Each school has its own server. the servers run windows 2003. in each school there are about 100 comptuers windows 95, 98, 2000 and XP. i am having no trouble with the windows 2000/XP comptuers. the school that i am in right now has approx 900 users. there are 15000 in this district, and i have no clue how many in the province. each student has an account which is set up in active directory. they need to long onto the computers, and have the logon script run off of the domain controllers at the main office (around 200KM from here). The logon script off of those DC's map drives to the local servers at the schools. Right now we have one user at this school created for the students that should map drives on the windows 98 computers. but it doesnt. when the script tries to run, it gives this error:

------------------------------------------

In-Page IO Execerption occurred.
This type of exception is thrown by the windows memory manager when it fails to (re)read code from this KiXtart executable.
Common causes for this excerption include:
-running WKIX32 from a batchfile without using START /w
-forced redirection of the network drive from which KiXtart was started
-severe network errors/latency
-faulty anti-virus software

Batch file missing

C:\WINDOWS>Invalid drive specification.

Our school networks run at 100Mbs, and all the schools are connected through 10Mbs pipelines. we use McAfee for our antivirus. this is the script that we use:
