I am sure it is not Policy. All the PCs are in the same OU. No policy is
set, and the effective policy on each machine is Not Configured for the
policies relating to this.
All our machines are installed by RIS, and nearly all applications are
installed by Group Policy. All the machines show the messages when they are
being built, but at some point the messages stop. A wide range of machines
are fine: they just have nothing in common. It can't be the software, as its
the same software on machines that work as on the ones that don't.
It just seems to be a random bug.
