Arcserve NT on Win2K

chris7
Does anyone know whether there is a trick to run Arcserve for NT4 on a Windows 2000 machine? Currently I can view the database and jobs on the backup server in our network - but it is impossible to change or create any jobs or to run any restore actions.

HELP! Opera browser screwed up my fonts

Ron_Jeremy
I have been running IE6 without a glitch since it was released. For something different, it tried the latest version of Opera browser. For unimportant reasons (okay, it's slow & I hated it), I uninstalled Opera.
