    its unlikely to be anything to do with the functional level upgrade since this affects only dc's.

    have you tried re-attaching the laptop to the domain?

    what do you mean?
    going to my laptop's system properties and re-enter the "member of domain"?
    Im at work now but will try that when I get home, thanks for the idea

    He means re-attach as in change it from a domain > workgroup and back again.
