Hi, I just picked up this thin client and just reinstalled the XPe from a flash drive. Installation went well, all drivers went on, everything work fine. I am just having a couple problems: One problem is once I set up my desktop and screen resolution, after I reboot, it goes back to the default with the 800X600 resolution, and the icons that were there went I first reinstalled the OS. Seems like it isn't saving my settings. Also, when I click on some icons in the control panel like, User Accounts, Add/Remove Programs, etc; it keeps saying, "the requested feature is not available". Also I am trying to install google toolbar but the Sygate is not allowing it - and when I click on the Sygate program to open it, nothing happens. I know HP has an uninstall softpaq on their site, but everytime I try to get it, sygate doesn't let me Down in the tasbar next to the clock, there is a green "lock" icon and when I hover over it, it says "enabled". I believe this is probably the root of the problems - it is not allowing me to make any modifications. How do I DISABLE, so that I can modify?? I understand the thin client is not a full fledged PC, but it should give me some configurability! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!!

vwchappy, suspect you're correct, the 'lock' thingy is a switch. You can either 'lock/unlock' the toolbar so changes can't be made, have an idea that affects the desktop too. RIGHTCLICK a blank area of the toolbar and you should be presented with the option to lock/unlock. Choose what you wish. It can be changed at any time. 'Locked' is pretty handy IMHO as it prevents inadvertent changes. HTH. Ed in Texas.

Thin client is pretty useless without a TS server. You can't install Office for example. You need to save your config to the TS rom. OS is loaded from rom not like with a pc via a read/write hard drive.
