Sorry - I meant the same install executable.
I tried having them reboot with no luck on the screen name.
I had them logon using different workstations that others were able to get
into properly. This seems to have solved the issue - those people went back
to their own machines and it did work.
Not sure what is different between the machines - all XP SP2 with all the
patches, same antivirus on all the systems if I do figure it out I'll post
back. About the only thing different is the ones with issues run avantgo
but I doubt that is any way related.
