Hello Bill,

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that the issue happens on a certain workstation.

I suggest you try clean boot and clearing registry keys on the problematic
workstation.

Since the issue happens on only one workstation, it is most likely a
client
OS issue.

I suggest you post the problem in XP/Vista newsgroup to see if we can get
more information there.

Best regards,

Manfred Zhuang(MSFT)
