when I get home tonight I will lookup the exact steps for doing this and 
give it a try. one problem is that the problem did not show up immediatly 
(some laptops showed the problem within a half hour, others didn't show it 
for several hours)

the four laptops that I saw the problem on over the weekend were all 
upgraded by hitting the four game buttons while powering up (and all from 
the same USB drive). unfortunantly I don't have a copy of that drive.

what versions do you want me to switch between? at least two of the 
machines had been vanilla 650 boxes, but one was my primary box that had 
been updated daily to joyride (up through last wednesday)
