Damaged registry

[Dan]

Hello everyone,

I have got a serious problem concerning my user profile.
yesterday I shut down my laptop as usual and when I
switched it on this morning I clicked on my user profile
and XP would not load it.
The explanation I received was that it cannot read/write
in my registry and that it might be corrupted...

I have never heard of such a problem and none of my
friends and aquaintances either!

please help me, I would appreciate your support very much.

yours DAN

Hi Dan,

How to Recover from a Corrupted Registry
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307545

Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore.
Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user hives.

Or...

Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from
%windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a system
restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message began to
appear.

Or...

Relocate NTUserdat

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change and
then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to use.
You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.
