At Porter-Gaud School in Charleston, we installed 48 LC5200s. We also
have experienced the same problems listed above.

After Dark was causing most of the hang ups. After updating After Dark on
the ones that have it installed, the hang ups did not occurr.

We fixed the screen color problem by calling Apple. They sent a techician
to the school to check the 14 5200s which were changing color. They found
that the video boards were not seated properly. They removed the video
boards, cleaned the connections, and reinstalled them. That fixed 13 of
them. One video board had to be replaced.
