The client had minimal applications (no office, etc.) but the problem
shows in Notepad and IE 5.00.3315.1000 (the one installed with Win2k).
Is there any information I can dump out on either the client or server
side that might tell us something? Possibly a registry dump on the
client or tdbdump on the server?
