Errors following SP2 Update

[DavidM]

Following a not very smooth update to SP2 Home (see earlier
post) I'm now trying to resolve the resultant problems.

In the Event Log for Applications I am consistently seeing the
following, consecutive, entries every time I log on:

Error 1 -
Source: Userenv, Event Id: 15108, User: SYSTEM
Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - The system has attempted to load or restore a file into
the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format.
for C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\ntuser.dat

Error 2 -
Source: Userenv , Event Id: 15102, User: NETWORK SERVICE
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes
of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local
profile. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - The system has attempted to load or restore a file into
the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format.

Error 3 -
Source: Userenv , Event Id: 1515, User: NETWORK SERVICE
Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will
automatically try to use the backed up profile the next time this
user logs on.

Error 4 -
Source: Userenv , Event Id: 1511, User: NETWORK SERVICE
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with
a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost
when you log off.


This set of errors occurs irrespective of which user id I login with
and also happens if I start in safe mode. The file referred to in
error 1, ntuser.dat, is present and dated 1/1/06, way before the
update, and these errors didn't appear then.

Can anyone offer any advice on resolving this, then I'll move on
to the next lot!

Many thanks,
David

You need to install Windows User Hive Cleanup Service.

Have you done a Express/Custom Update yet since SP2? There are a ton of
updates/patches, including this.

UPHClean was already installed prior to the update, and is still running.
All updates (except IE7) have been installed, there were only about 8
of them.
