Description:
Windows saved user OFFICEDELL\Chalkers registry while an application or
service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the
user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is
no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring
the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

I hope all this means more to you than it does to me! Any ideas on where to
look next? Many thanks.
