SMS Client Removal

[Mekkins]

Anyone have a clue on how to remove an SMS client? One of our domains is still running Windows NT with SMS 1.2. We have some new HP laptops running XP and whenever they are logged onto this old domain and the SMS client is loaded, on re-boot they lockup. The logon prompt comes up but the keyboard and mouse won't work (except in safemode). As a result, we simply don't log these laptops onto this old domain. However, one of our IT guys forgot about this and added one of the laptops to the old domain and logged it in; now it's locked up. Rather than reload, I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to get rid of SMS. I've tried disabling the two SMS services that run and cleaning up any entries in the registry and on the hard drive but nothing works. Pickings on the Internet are pretty slim. Thanks, Mekkins
