Thanks for the response. I checked the event viewer. The main error it reports is:
Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7005 Date: 2/21/2008 Time: 3:20:25 PM User: N/A Computer: DEV Description: The LoadUserProfile call failed with the following error: Access is denied. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that error. But at least now I have some more information to work with.

I have tried different versions and everything I can think of but have run out of ideas. It is frustrating.
