Insufficient ressources to load up profiles

[Suikodan]

Greetings,

I work in a place where we have a Windows 2K server with Win2K clients
that logs into it. All the user profiles are stored locally so there
are no roaming profiles here.

However, I ran into some problems with a machine. Applications are
crashing, windows are showing incomplete information (ie: no text in
the blue bar on in the buttons, etc...).

So here's what happening now (with pictures...) but before that, the
system specs:
P3 933Mhz
128Mb RAM
30Gb of HD with a lot of empty space.

1- First, we notice that the top bar isn't blue, it's partially
showing the background image. From here, I can log in with my user
information.

2- Then I get this. It's in french so I'll translate:
Windows cannot load your profile. Increase the size of the registry
and reboot the computer.

3- After that, I get this. Again, I'll translate:
Windows cannot load the user's profile but opened a session with the
default profile for this system.

DETAIL - Insufficient system resources to finish the requested
service.

4- Then I get a blue background. In there, I can only Ctrl-Alt-Del my
way out of there.

What I did try:
- Adding an additionnal 128Mb of RAM: The PC loaded up faster but with
the same results above.
- Modifying the registry using this KB: I tried that initially since
the message popped up in eventvwr but I can admit that the issues
above started after I applied the changes. It's strange, I tried that
KB on other PCs and it did run fine after that.

Any suggestions?

It seems to be saying that the Registry Size Limit has been exceeded (on
the Worksation). Go in the Performance Options and verify/increase the
size.

Thanks for the reply.

I verified the registry size, it was 24Mb current and 16Mb allocated.
I changed from 16 to 32. Is there an average registry size? Is the
number that I entered good? What exactly defines the size of the
registry?

Did the errors stop with the new 32MB max value? At 16MB and 24 alloted
it isn't overly big, seems about average for a workstation.
