Re: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.ced

We have tried that. In one particular case, we repaired the workstation,
replacing the system hive, only to have it crash again moments later with the
same error.

If is it a corrupt hive, how can we stop this from happening? What is doing
this? We have had this happen on three different Dell Precision 607's. Each
where install seperately. We have not seen it on any of our other
workstations.
