TECH:SchoolView and IBM PC300GLs

[Jeff Cornelius <JCORNELI@AUGUSTA.K12.VA.US>]

Our county school system has been using the IBM SchoolView classroom
computer management system to provide teachers with a GUI to manage
matching up classes with software. We've had several problems this year
with new labs (especially HS business labs) using IBM PC300GL computers
for the student workstation. These PCs have Pentium processors and hard
drives to provide a more responsive environment for MS Office than the
Eduquest machines without hard drives we had used previously. Each
school is running a LAN with an IBM server and Novell 3.12.
The problem has been the computers locking up, to the point of needing a
cold boot, at the rate of several in a 19-station lab every class. This
occurs primarily in Windows applications but sometimes just logging in
with the SchoolView login screen.
Is this an isolated situation here, or are others experiencing similiar
"challenges"? Or is this a unique combination of hardware and software
nobody else uses?
Please reply directly to me and I'll post a Hit in a week or so.
