Well, just so you know, we found the solution. Apparently, on rare occasion, the Local Settings folder will get copied along with all of the other folders in a user's profile (within the Documents and Settings folder), and then the ntuser.dat file will become 256k in size. We deleted the Local Settings folder and replaced the ntuser.dat file with a good one, and the profile is back to normal.

Apologies, a couple of other details: • the checkbox does not contain a check, it contains a green box, which (I believe) indicates that the folder itself is not read-only, but contains files or folders that are • When logged in as another user, my locally cached profile folder no longer exists (it is apparently deleted upon upload to the server) • local admin receives same behavior minus the two errors. No errors are logged in the application log • Application log gives the following two errors each time I log in with my domain account: Folder Redirection (111) Userenv (1085) (regarding the 111) • Win XP SP2 • Office 2003

I tried searching, but didn't find anything applicable. I was using my computer yesterday and it worked fine. I shut down with no errors, then boot up again a couple of minutes later. I received the same error dialog twice from Windows (Login, I think) Script effectively saying that it could not apply my settings because permission is denied. After clicking ok on both errors, nothing further happened. I had mouse and keyboard control, I was able to get task manager up, and then successfully started my shell. However, while my profile was downloaded from the server, none of my settings are loaded - Outlook won't start, all office apps run the windows installer before loading, none of my custom mapped drives remain, but my domain "home drive" is still mapped. A bit more information: • All folders in Documents and Settings indicate that they contain files that are read only (green box within checkbox), even if they contain no files. • I've tried deleting the NTUser.pol file in All Users, and I would have tried deleting my locally cached profile, but it doesn't remain. • I am able to log on to other machines successfully. • It is a roaming profile. TIA for any help
