Can you give us an idea of how many NT users see these problems? Do ALL of them see these problems?
Without knowing more, the first place I'd look would be at hardware drivers, especially video - make sure they have the latest versions for the exact hardware they are using. HP printer drivers are a common source of problems as well.
