[AG-TECH] Problems configuring a laptop client.

[Andrew Patrick]

Any chance this is a Thinkpad?

If so, the IBM utilities rely on an earlier version of Python, and the 
environment variables that are set interfere with the AG. Adjusting those 
variables is easy.

If it is a Thinkpad, let me know and I will lookup the procedure, or search the 
archive of previous discussions here on ag-tech.
