Anyone in IT wanna take a stab at this one?

On the original question my first observation is you never should have gotten HP's. Hook a chain to 'em and toss them over the bow. :rockin: Sounds like a user profiles issue. HP has some problems related to user profiles as does Compaq. Crappy BIOS. Have your bos log on to a Dell or something that you know works and see what happens.

It does it on Dell's to. As a matter of fact my boss' computer is, and always has been a Dell. The issue is not with the manufacturer (at least as far as I can tell).
