Toby,

Something is causing the system to think your mouse button has been held
down on startup. That's actually where the client gets this information,
which will prevent it from loading. I'm not sure why reinstalling the client
would solve this, since it shouldn't, so keep an eye on these clients for
recurrences.

I would think this is caused by some sort of utility or extension you have
loaded that is causing the system to think the mouse button is depressed. Do
you have any special mice or trackballs, or a USB card? Try minimizing inits
to only Mac OS plus the Retrospect Client. Does this work better?

If you have any further questions, please call us directly.
