Thank you Seth. I will try that. I have a new computer here at work and it is running Windows 7 (I am test driving it). I am in the process of setting it up. I notice that when I log on to the network, my browser settings, etc. are not showing up.....it is as though my profile is not loading...any thoughts?

Yes they do, I haven't tried them, but you've peaked my interest. I'm going to download them to my laptop now...
My profiles settings are not loading when I logon to the network using Windows 7...any thoughts about why this is happening?

Yes, we use roaming profiles.
Also, the Remote Access feature of the admin tool pak does not appear to work with Windows Server 2003 :(

I am not familiar with 7 yet, but do you use roaming profiles?

I think I have everything installed and working properly: Adobe CS3, Doors (for keyfob administration), Lightspeed Security Agent, First Class email client, Office XP (which Windows 7 is having issues with), JMC Office and IP Gradebook. Things are in different places, but not so different that they cannot be found. I know this has nothing to do with the performance of the OS, but I must say it is visually beautiful, the wallpapers are really cool too!
I am very bummed out that the Remote Server Administration Tools do not work with Windows Server 2003.
Overall, so far, so good.

Also Diane, try waiting 15 to 30 seconds after boot up before typing your password. Let me know what you find out!

Correction: The Remote Server Admin Tools DO work with Windows Server 2003, you need to use the Turn Windows Features on/off in the Control Panel to change some settings and then all the features work.
