Ok here is a dandy...

New install of Win2k with SP2 and all WinUpdate security and rollups.
Basic IE (not 6 or updated to 5.5)

When I install the ZA and then turn on the active desktop, the
computer works great until I reboot. Upon rebooting I get the
taskbar, and that is IT! No icons on the desktop just the pretty
picture. I can't even right click to enable the icons as it won't let
me do anything (almost like explorer.exe is hung) and then finally it
starts to crash ala 98 and video starts to hang at random as I try to
reboot. I have to manually reset to make it work again, go into safe
mode and turn off the Active Desktop. Then it works fine...

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Ken
