Re: iSeries Navigator on Windows 7 - hangs

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually do a "run as administrator" when I load up System i 
Navigator.  More importantly, does he have the latest fix pack loaded 
for Access as well.

Next thing to check is to make sure all the host servers are started.  
Also, if you have PentaSafe or other security monitoring software make 
sure it allows the remote commands from the trusted network.

That's the short list.  More granular than that requires more specific 
errors.
