If it's a corrupted profile, copying it won't do the trick. Try
uninstalling, then reinstalling the adminpak. If that doesn't work, you'll
have to start with a fresh profile.

Make sure your workstation is not having password issues when opening the trust
to the domain. I have seen this a few times and using the Computer
Properties/Computer Name/Network ID button to reset the password (use existing
computer account) will fix that. It just takes seconds so it is worth trying. If
this a problem then you will also have event logs about the issue.

There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Deleting and recreating my profile fixed the problem.

Forgot to first save off my Bookmarks. Thanks Microsoft!

Anyway... it's working. Thanks for the help with all the other issues.

Glad to hear it's fixed, but I'm sorry to hear you lost your bookmarks. I
should have suggested to copy your current profile to another location prior
to blowing it away. Sorry about that.
