Actually these are brand new pc's right out of the box. 40 gb hdd nothing
installed except for standard stuff. MSOffice. Norton AV ..etc. I am
guessing it has something to do with the priveleges on the local computer.
hmm... I wonder what startup has in it..... Ill let you know what I see in
startup when I take a look today...
