Use the event viewer. Start-Programs-Administrative Tools (Common)-Event Viewer. This will show you what is causing the errors from the log files.

Hello,

The different startup errors which you are getting on the workstations could be a result of some software installed on the machines which is not compatible with the hardware.Probably what you could do is Yuo check out the event viewer(Start -- > Programs ---> Administrative tools ).There in the menu just look out for red icon which probably may give you the cause of error.

search microsoft.com/technet for the userenv.dll files. there are 2 of them, one for sp3 and before one for sp4 and after. there should be isntructions to enable this file. basically you caopy the file to the\%systemroot%\system32 directory on the ws in question. then you alter the registry to activate the file and reboot. when a user logs on now a log file os created that goes step by step thru the entire login process. i have used this to troubleshoot some roaming profile problem s on my network and it works great. anyway i hope that this helps t/s the problem. ---kenderkin

if you have configured the users to have roaming profiles some settings from one workstation to another may not. For instance, a user may use a resolution setting of 1280x1024 on one workstation and uses another workstation that cannot support thatresolution - an error occurs.
