I installed SBS2008 on our new IBM server. There is nothing configured on the
server yet. No added applications beside the MS software. Everything was
woking fine. I have not installed the server on the network yet.

I started it up last night. The sbs console at start-up that contains
critial updates, back-up, can't remember the other two items, it queries and
never concludes, it just queriers.

I try to open the network icon and it never opens, I try to open computer
management and it never opens. I try to open internet explorer and it never
opens. The only items that open are computers and control panel, but I cannot
load into any of the icons there including device manager.

I go back into the "start" button area and none of the directories or icons
in the start area highlight on mouseover so I can't open those up.

I try to open other items and they just never open, then the system locks.

It looks like items are opening in safe mode but some of the items don't
work in safe mode anyway.

I haven't added or changed anything so I don't know where to begin. Any
ideas or is this one of the 2008 bugs I need to work through?

Thanks,
Greg
