I don’t think the computer name would be the problem. The machine has been in place for a while, and it has been about a year since it was rebuilt. The problem just developed. I would think that if it was a computer name issue, it would have developed pretty much immediately.

It is in the back of my mind to rebuild again, but this guy uses a number of specialty programs, several of them older than Windows (even prior to even hearing about Windows) and it can be a pain to get them to work under WIN2K (I don’t even want to think about XP).

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Already tried the new profiles, both local and network. Was no go. I did not try Gutszy63′s suggestion yet, and I should of thought of that.

I knew there was another thing I could try, and removing his machine from the domain was it! I haven’t done that yet, but will e-mail the techs available tomorrow and have them do it. Yesterday was a day of sticky problems, and this machine was just one of them–my brain was pretty well fried by the end of the day.

Check Active Directory for Users and Computers. Look at his computer name and check his permissions there. Besides that I would probably just change his username, add an initial to it or something. Sorry not much help.

Try creating a new local profile and see what happens.
