Jim, I haven't seen anything like this but other things I'd be trying to isolate the problem: Does it always happen with the same app or different apps? Or maybe it always happens on the same screen? (If lockup occurs with different applications or screens then you can likely rule out the application as the problem). Could you replicate the problem by just holding down a key on the keyboard? (maybe it's a certain sequence of keys causing the problem) Does it happen when the users type too far ahead? (could be filling up the type ahead buffer) Maybe the buffer problem is in Windows XP. It didn't happen on Windows 2000? Could you install Windows XP on some of the old hardware and see if you get the overflow problem with the old hardware but with Windows XP? Maybe it's a PC hardware problem. Are all the new Windows XP machines the same model? Do you have a different model of PC running Windows XP that also has the lockup? Could you install Windows 2000 on the new hardware and see if you get the lockup? Also, have you taken a look at these applications to see if you can speed up their interactive performance? If they are doing a lot of updates that take awhile maybe throw some data in a data queue and let a batch program do the updates. Maybe the screen I/O could be tweaked with some changes to the display file and the way the program formats the screen. Paul
