Glenn,

Thanks for your feedback. I have posted this problem on a few different websites and your feedback has been the most helpful I have received on this problem.

I have tried the fixes which you recommended -- here is what I have noticed:
- The 'delayed desktop switch timeout' change allows me to no longer see the Welcome screen. However, instead of seeing the welcome screen, I just see that same black screen.
- Putting that line at the beginning of the script doesn't seem to help -- I am still unable to see the script.

Another note -- it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the scripts themselves. If I just put the kix32 file back into the netlogon directly with no scripts, the system will still crash. I should just be getting a message telling me it can't open filename.kx or something similar to that.
