Windows freeze's in startup

[Guest]

I have several users who have been having their laptops
freeze when they take them home to do some work on them.
it gets to the "Windows is starting up" and will freeze.

First guess is that the laptop is expecting to be connected to some piece of
hardware or network, and really does not like not finding that when not in
the office. If this sounds right, you will want to look at setting up
appropriate hardware profiles, from which the user chooses while booting.

I know what you are saying but it doesn't add up because
for the last 2 years they have been going back and forth
and have not had any problems like this.
