Hi

I'm really sick of this problem. I get it on all my client machines to SBS
2003. Perhaps this is where the problem originates - profiles in SBS?

But nothing I try gets around this problem whether or not I have SP2
installed.

As everyone states, all the recommended fixes are spurious.

Come on Microsoft, get your finger out!
