this is such an ambiguous explanation of the problem. what version of the 
System and Finder is he running? does he have any inits or cdevs in use?
are you sure it's PM 3.5 (??? i didn't know such a version existed...)

we tested ATM intensively with many different configurations and i'd have
to say that i've never encountered what you are describing. it would be
nice if your friend could do some more definitive research into the problem.

how does he know the problem is with ATM for sure? has he tried turing off
ATM to see if the problem still occurs? how has he managed to narrow it
down to the desktop manager?

i would suggest trying the following things:

- rebuild the desktop file on boot-up and try to run PM again

- try turning all inits (assuming he has) off except ATM and DM and
try to run PM. if it breaks, turn off ATM. etc...

- try running with no inits (including ATM) and just the DM.

- check for virus'. you never can know...

this is a start but it will help us out to help you fix the
problem.--d
