SOURCE: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible

When you "logon" to your local network, your computer is configured to fetch your "desktop" (My Documents and wallpaper and everything else) from a "server" computer on your network.

Was your "logon" to the local "domain-server" a successful login?
Does your local Network Administrator indicate that the "domain-server" is functioning properly?
Does that server's log-file show any error-messages, such as "not allowed to login between 10 PM and 6 AM" (a "security" setting on the server).

Since your "desktop" could not be loaded from the domain-server,
your computer has used a "local" copy of your "desktop",
and it is warning you that any changes will *NOT* be "merged" back to your "network" profile.

Have you contacted you local Network Administrator? What did she say?

Windows has a roaming profiles if you are on a networked computer. Change it back to local if you have rights and not on a work PC. Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > User Profiles > Settings. Highlight the profile and Change Type.

Network path not found as defined below when logging on

Sounds like you took your work computer home to do some work and its looking to connect to the company server to get your credentials to give you access to the system and files.

I would guess you need the VPN connection to connect to the server its looking for.
From what info you provided that's all we can tell you.

Network Path not found

Your windows profile is broken,.or loaded from another computer (or server) that is down or not running. If you and your computer go direct to the net, not through some kind of network, then you might want to creat a new ADMINISTRATOR profile (via windows control panel)and delte the old one once you have copied what you need.

Users are having trouble logging in. Can't load profiles. Server not available.

Have you recently renamed the server that stores roaming profiles for your users? Or worse yet, decommissioned it?

Tungsten E and Outlook 2003 sync problem

yes I moved my files to a new machine and reinstalled palm (which of course also created the dreaded multiple copies of many palm contacts, when palm discovered older archives, but that is another story!) I wouldn't mind that if the palm pilot would just sync with outlook 2003. It synched with Outlook 2000 on my old machine.
