Thanks to everyone for your respones.
Jay from Tech support used web-ex to take control of one of our
troubled machines. He searched the registry for 9.1a and removed all
entries. Didn't seem to help and he fumbled around a while,
rebooted, tried some things, until then he removed the -q parameter
out of the vantage.mfg file. He said that that parameter tells the
computer to start up quickly by looking for settings already in
memory. And by taking it out, it will have to look for whatever the
current settings are. Well it worked after that. Were not exactly
sure what did it, but I'll try it on another machine next week and
let you know what happens.
Have a great weekend and thanks again.
