The only time I've had an NT client crash (it was not a blue screen, just
Dr. Watson) it had something to do with use of national characters *and*
USEUNICODEFILENAMES. It always crashed on a file path containing a non ASCII
caracter. The problem went away as soon as I set the USEUNICODEFILENAME to
NO. I only found this situantion on one machine and it was a Compaq running
NT 4.0 and ADSM V3 client.
