Strange and frustrating issue with offline files

Hi there,

I am reliant on Offline Files. Our server crashed and was rebuilt with
the same name, but I had to get a new profile established. Offline Files
has always worked beautifully for me until my new profile was
established.

I do have the option “Always Available Offline”, but I can’t actually
select this option. I click to check it, and nothing happens. I right
click again, and it’s not selected. Essentially my selection simply
won’t stick. If I go through properties and the “Offline Files” tab,
again, I can check the option to make available offline, but nothing
happens. When I go back in it’s not checked.

Here’s a bit of background:

1. I am running Vista Business version 6 (build 6000) on a Dell
Inspiron notebook 1501 with SBS 2003.
2. I have cleared all the cache
3. I have disabled offline files, restarted, and made available again
to no avail.
4. I have installed the hotfix found in KB article 935663 (I know this
was going overboard as my issue is not permission related, but I was
getting desperate)
5. The cscsvc.dll file is in c:\windows\scs and there is a directory
called c:\windows\csc
6. I have tried to make files available offline through networking
another machine (not a server- another client) in our network with the
same problem. We have one other desktop running Vista Business and his
computer works fine when trying to Make Files Available online. However,
he never had this option set up prior to the server crash. This leads me
to believe it’s not a server issue, but an issue specific to my
machine.
7. My queries yeild the following:

Sorry to be so detailed. Maybe it's simple. I just wanted to give as
much information as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
