Service Packs include updates and bug fixes to your operating system. They are freely available from Microsoft. The latest for Windows NT 4.0 is Service Pack 6a. Each Service pack superceeds the last so you only need to download SP 6a and install it. You will not need any of the previous Service P

You might try requesting a shared connection. At least then you wouldn't kick the other person off. The user would see that someone else is connected and come back later. Of course, there may be a temporary fight over the mouse pointer. So tell you folks not to to get upset if the mouse "moves on
