When starting up a NT workstation on a network, it fails to bring up a desktop but stays at the hourglass with a blank background.It is the same regardless what user logs in. Any help??

Hi ragman,
does it just hang at the hour glass or does it time out with unable to log onto domain?

Have you tried logging onto the Workstation itself instaed of the domain, as the W/S administrator?

Can you access the workstation from the administrators account from the PDC or another workstation?

Sounds to me like in needs a reload.

Is it on an NTFS partition or DOS etc.

Always try booting to the Last Know Good Config, Then check Your wireing, Protocols,.
Sounds to me like ayou my want to open it up an check under the hood if the quickies do not get you going
