RE: XP v 2000

Hi Best,

I think the problem is:

In a mixed environment, if you use the same roaming profile to log on to a
Windows XP-based client and to a Windows 2000-based client, the roaming
profile may not work correctly. You may observe the following changes in
the user interface:
- Monitor power-saving functionality does not work correctly, which causes
flickering.
- The taskbar is not shaped right, and taskbar images may be cut off.
- Screen and program colors are not correct.
- Menu fonts do not reflect the standard setting.
- The colors that are used on menus are different.
- Some Windows Explorer file settings are different. For example, the Show
common tasks in folders check box may become selected.

Therefore, Microsoft recommend not to use roaming profile in different
software enviroment.

Hope the information helps.

Hi

A new user logged into a machine with Windows 2000 client for the first
time. He set up his Outlook 2000 and customised his Desktop, Favorites,
etc.
But when he tried to log into his Windows XP machine with Outlook 2003,
it
took a long to log him in and that his roaming profile did not seem to
have
downloaded. No Favorites, no customised desktop, no Outlook, no error
message.

Any ideas as to how to fix this ?

Thanks

Best
