Thank you for all of the help. I just reloaded Vista, even after I scanned
the registry, removed the machine from the domain, and followed the suggested
steps form this forum, the profile would not load. It wa scertainly a Vista
problem, not network problem, because when I set my profile not to roam, I
received the same profile errors.

Thanks again, and have a great holiday!
