Thanks for the info! 8-) I ran win /b and found out that the keyboard
driver failed to load when I checked the bootlog.txt file. Also thanks
to those who responded via email. My client and I are very very happy
now. 8-) 
BTW, it's nice to know that Warp is smart enough to sense the problem
and just kill the offending app. I'd like to see a Micro$oft product do
that, ha ha.
