Does anyone want to think this was caused by the change back
to standard time from daylight savings time?  <g>

Checking in on Sunday night I had several clients showing a blank
where my user name should be, and zero CPU time and WUs completed. (I
don't use SQ or any other add-ons.) They were running fine -- no
"fatal errors" or the like -- but clearly there was something wrong
with the user info. I just used "Change/Create Login" to reenter my
address-of-record and the information was restored. I don't know what
may have happened to any WUs completed before I arrived ... at any
rate, the only explanation I could think of was that it was something
to do with the time change: all the affected systems had made the
switch automatically, while all the systems that needed their clocks
to be adjusted manually were unaffected.


 
Two, out of 5 WinXpHome systems here had the 'error 100' problem yesterday. All 
of the systems are time synced using NTP, so I believe that the time change 
isn't the problem here. More likely it is a server disk subsystem or a server 
memory problem.
