    Its likely some GP setting that is having an adverse affect on some
    application (yes, obvious, I know!). In the past, what I've done with these
    is use Regmon from www.sysinternals.com to try and locate the problem. Best
    bet is to enable it to run at logon and trace all registry requests. Then,
    stop the logging after the "cancelled" message appears and do a search on
    the log for the keyword "policies". Using this, you can locate all the
    policy settings that are being hit and maybe narrow down the search. What I
    have found is that policies like Hide Drives can have unexpected results on
    older apps so that would be the first place I would look.
