I'll have a look. I can't see there being any registry access on a DOS
machine but I'll check for .ini files. Strange that the first execution
displays the trouble but all up to the next boot are fine.

Is it possible it is writing to one of the citrix Ini's or the registry the
first time?   Take a look and see if one is being chage (date/time) and add
the changed one to your boot sequence then.

We're running NT4 TSE SP6. The problem only manifests itself the first time
wfclient.exe is executed, so I've got around it by putting a dummy execution
in autoexec.bat.

Thanks.

Did you installed NT SP3 before video driver installation ?

Why are you using NT? Can you use Windows 98? Have you looked at the 98
wrapper solution.  http://thethin.net/wrapper.zip

Here's one for the pros.

I'm in the process of converting some elderly PCs (Mostly Pentium 75-120)
into DOS based thin terminals. All is fine unless I use an S3 based video
card, at which point there is about a 10% chance of extremely weird colours
when the NT login prompt appears.

Picture the NT login box. Now picture it with all the white areas flashing
through a 16 colour palette, spending about 0.25 seconds on each colour.
This only seems to happen with S3 cards and I've seen it with 4 different
chipsets so far on a choice of Intel motherboards. I've ordered a few
alternative graphics cards but the only PCI models I can get have, wait for
it, S3 Savage 4 processors.

I know it's a long shot but has anyone met and solved this one in the past?

Regards
Angus
