thanks, i'll give that a look.

Someone on another site has suggested that the problem may be that the problem may be because the internal domain is set to 'easton-college.ac.uk' rather than 'easton-college.local'. But they haven't...

They're running W2K. We do have a W2K3 server but its not a domain controller. I'll download it anyway and see if I can make use of it. Thanks!

mtkinf - yes, we've already got that set as you suggested. thanks for the suggestion.

emr - certainly possible. what could cause a conflict? My limited understanding was that GPO's were processed...

Yes, they do have SP2 but the problem existed before we applied it too unfortunately. I am sure its something to do with our network configuration somewhere that disagrees with XP (be it DNS, GPO or...

We have a strange problem on our network, where all WinXP PCs generally take 4-5 mins to login (whilst the same user account would log in in 1 minute on Win2K).

Having done lots of searching and...

we have ORFilter here: http://www.martijnjongen.com/eng/

not sure if it's quite what you are looking for but it does a decent job for us :)

ADisturbance, i do believe you've cracked it! took out the modem, PC boots fine. stuck it back in again, no POST. how crazy! went and bought a new modem at the local store, PC has been running...

thanks for the suggestion. i've tried the memory one, so will have a go with removing the cards (the only ones being modem and a USB expansion card).

ok, the PC won't stay running long enough to get ASUS probe installed. but i was able to get these stats from an option before bootup:

V Core : 1.57
+3.3V : 3.31
+5V : 4.99
+12V : 12.03

MB...

voltage is something i haven't really thought about - what ought i be looking for there? it's not something i really have much knowledge on.

i am certain it is CPU or motherboard, but i am puzzled...

thanks for the suggestions, that was something else that had crossed my mind but i forgot to mention it! :) i've tired the ASUS probe software and the temperatures are certainly not troublesome at...

i wondered if anyone would have a suggestion for what might be causing the following problem...

i have a motherboard (ASUS A7V8X-X), and a CPU (ATHLON XP2200 266FSB). the CPU works fine for about...

this is a good way to identify old motherboards:

the free download itself is in german, but it's fairly easy to work out what it's telling you.

busted! bit of a long winded solution, but i uninstalled publisher, and logged in again - it seemed as though it was attempting load a .TMP file (though it didn't say where from), so i went out and...

nope, no dice on the registry. was one weird entry that shouldn't have been there but otherwise all was as it should be. i must be missing something obvious! :o

i've whacked all the profiles already, but i'll give those other registry entries a check - thanks DPW!

well, the temp directory is empty and it's still happening. argh! :)

ok! will give that a go this afternoon. thanks!

thanks for the suggestion, but no luck there unfortunately. i should add that the message "Publisher cannot open file" comes up too, which would suggest it is trying to open a specific publisher file...

There is a single WINNT PC on our network where Publisher 2000 *always* starts up when someone logs on.

There is no trace of a file in the 'startup' of the Start Menu. And I have looked in the...

a belated thanks for pointing us in the right direction. :)

Well, it was to do with setting 'virus wall incoming mode' on the server. Once that was cleared, the files stopped appearing.
