I have the same problem, everything boots properly, only once I log on to my
user name a DOS window will open and read ERROR: Access Denied. It shows up
a couple times then goes away and i go about my business. I can't imagine
this is a cosmetic issue even though the machine runs fine, albeit slowly,
afterwards. This was a display machine at a retail store, could it be
possible that this was set up to disallow access from curious shoppers?
