* Yes, even the Guest account.
>(Create another if you have to.)
* Happens on new account
>Using the welcome screen or Classic Logon screen?
* Tried both with the same recurring problem
> - Does it do this when booting into Safe Mode?
* forgot to ask him this: will suggest next time
> - When he formatted, did he bring anything over from the old install
like using FAST to export his profile and then import it.
* Yes, he did save his profile settings before the format.
> - Right after the install was done, were the symptoms evident - or
was it some time in the future?
* After format, all login accounts were OK: the problem resurfaced after some
time.
> - You said "SP1", any reason this is not an SP2 system yet?
* Hasn't access to the internet most of the time, and reluctant to keep up

to me from Microsoft)
