Reinstall (or reset) offline files

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to reset my "Offline Files" function.
I run Vista business and if I look at offline files in the control panel it
says (under usage):

In use: 99 GB in use (99 GB available) (10% of 999GB disk)

I have only a 100GB disk and no partnerships...
If I try to click to change my limits (I never set them to this number ofc)
nothing happens.
Needless to say - I cant use offline files either. If I right-click a folder
and choos "always available" nothing happens as well.

Is there a way to reset this back to square one or do I have to do a full
vista reinstall?

I'm now having this exact same problem. It all started when my computer
(running Vista Business) began drastically slowing down every 2-3
minutess for 1 minute at a time. The processor was spiking to 100% CPU
usage and it was linked to the CSCService (Offline Files). When I
stopped the Offline Files service, my computer ran normally again. When
I enabled Offline Files, the problem continued.

I figured it might be a space issue so I went into Offline Files
control panel and tried to edit the amount of spaced used, and saw that
I can no longer edit space settings and experiencing exactly what you've
described. It says 99GB in use and 99GB available (I don't have 99GB on
my notebook!).

So I don't know what to do now. My computer's completely screwed up...

Hi Eto

I'm having the same problem, I click on 'make available offline' and nothing
happens. My problems started when the server was renamed from \\dellp4\ to
\\server\ and that just blew everything up.

If you've dicovered a fix, or someone from Microsft can answer these posts
that would be great. I don't want to have to rebuild my machine.

Cheers Greg

Anyone has an update on this ? It's been 5 months and I still have this
problem.
