Roaming profiles

Hi folks,
I am having problems with a users roaming profile when she logs on she gets the message 'Slow network connection detected. Do you want to download roaming profile or use local one' when you select download another message comes up 'cannot download roaming profile will attempt to use local one' which it does fine. I log onto any machine with this users id and the same thing happens with anybody elses id it goes through fine with no errors. We are not having this problem with anybody else and it doesnt make a difference which machine she logs on at. I have deleted her profile on the server so that it creates a new one and that works until you restart the machine and you get the errors. I have coppied my profile and renamed it to her id but still to good.

You could try this, but i dont know if it will work. Set and configure the users profile on the Workstation. Delete or rename the profile on the server. Right click the "My Computer" icon and select user profile tab and copy it to the server. Like i say. i dont know if it will work. If it does please let me know.
Thanks Lee

Why don't you just delete her domain account and make a fresh one?
