delete roaming profiles under win2k and PGP. Not good.

[Joseph]

I had a similar problem.  I ended up uninstalling PGP.  However, from 
what I could find PGP had installed a service on the 2K computer that 
held a keys files locked.  You could try installing it with the users 
keys on a network drive.  I haven't tried it though.
