I am seeing something very strange happen. I am dealing with 500 new NCR Point of sale devices, running a Windows XP SP3 OS. Everytime I make any change to the registry and reboot the machine, it hangs at "Saving your settings". I am doing this both as local admin and domain admin on the machine.
The problem is, I have to hit the power switch and power the machine down. Then power it up. When the machine comes back up, the changes aren't present in the registry - because apparently they were not saved.
Have you seen this before? Any idea what could be causing this? The machine restarts fine if the registry is untouched

Thanks in advance,
sb
