Help Please! "Windows can't load the users profile........default profile..." Boot problem!!! Adv

[FemMclLvr]

Hey there!

I'm getting the following error message as I boot into windows XP Pro.
"Windows cannot load the users profile but has logged you on with the
default profile for the system". There is only one user on this
system and as I put the password in and the computer continues, I get
a message that says - And that default profile has ADMINISTRATIVE
rights!!! The thing is that there is only one user profile in the
first place. I tried changing passwords but that did nothing. Any
ideas?

This is what I did before I started to have the problem. I installed
Service Pack2 and all was fine. I then, a week or so later, tried to
install the "Intel Application Accelerator V2.3" driver from the ASUS
web site and the computer crashed. It would crash and on re-boot
check the allocation tables and find problems and fix them. XP tells
you where the problem is and the problem files were in my Symantic
(Norton) Live Update area. I uninstalled the ASUS/Intel driver and no
longer have a problem although any time I try to log on I get the
above log-on message (Windows cannot load the users profile but has
logged you on with the default profile for the system). I checked the
Intel acceoerator for viruses and even d'loaded it again from another
of their web sites (not North America) and there seems to be no
problem with it.

Any Suggestions???!!!

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Scott;
Try this:

You may have to use the Default Administrator.
At the log-in screen, hit Ctrl/Alt/Del twice.
Type "Administrator" and enter appropriate password.

Before you do anything else, check that you have space on your hard
drive.

Hey Scott!

I'm getting the exact same problem and I would like to note a couple of
similarities between our situations. I also recently (about a week before
this problem) installed SP2 as an automatic update from the MS website. I
also noticed the error message after the installation of a new program (In my
case FlipAlbum Pro 5.0) Actually, the first time I encountered this problem
was during my first reboot after the SP2 installation. This just happened to
be the reboot following my FlipAlbum Pro installation.

Scott, Do you remember seeing a message box sometime after the SP2 install,
but before the logon problem which said something to the effect of
"Insufficient System Resources available to allow updates to the registry.
Any further requests to update the Windows registry will be ignored" ??? I
got a message box to that effect (don't remember the exact wording, but
similar to what I typed) the day before I had the logon problem.

I don't know what to do with this machine. My XP Pro installation had been
FLAWLESS without a single lockup/crash for more than a year prior to this
problem! Now, in the process of trying to resolve this issue, I cannot get
the Windows System Restore to do go back to ANY prior dates, my Acronis
HD/partition backup has failed to initialize, and I have also deleted my user
profile (thinking it was corrupt due to the error we're both now
experiencing) which I have now found out also deletes all my email and
related system settings. My computer is now WORTHLESS to me. I now seem to
have no way to retrieve YEARS of work and data.

Thanks Bill, Thanks Acronis.
