I found that I need to ghost through the wired network, and then install Avast! through the WAP that the laptop will use. I’m still running into the “Welcome” hang with both wired and wireless units everyday. There is no common thread except that the machines are Win 7 32 bit. I have several machines that will work fine for a few days and with multiple students and then show the hang issue again. I have a few teacher machines that hang every time the computer boots. After fighting with those machines everyday for two weeks, I have gone to another solution for those machines.

I do have load avast after other services selected, and this reduced our hangs by about 50%. We still have 10-15 computers a day out of 700+ hang and have to have Avast! uninstalled and reinstalled each day.
