I have the same problem. All Windows XP updates are done, my welcome screen
is turned off, and, I followed the advice in some of these posts and
installed the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service and also reduced the number
of times it tries to save the settings from 60 to 20. But none of these fixed
the problem.
I really want to do a system restore, but I can't because it hangs on
shut-down at "saving your settings" (I left it all night last night, just in
case it needed a lot of time!).
Here are some of the numerous items in the Event Viewer list -- these are
just samples of some of the events that appear over and over again in the
list. I'm not completely computer-illiterate, but a lot of the info in these
events is greek to me (Note - this is a Dell laptop supplied by the
university I work for with a "template" of university software installed -
their "User Support Centre", not-so-affectionately known as the "Useless
Support Centre" is currently closed - not that they would be able to help
anyway - so I'm really hoping someone here can help.
I use Novell to log on to my computer. I use Trend-Micro PC-Cillin and
disabled all the university-installed McAffee services this morning in case
the problem was caused by conflicts -- doing so did not fix the problem.
NOTE: I replaced some potentially identifying info with asterisks):

AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SP****-NB2 Windows saved user A****\s**** 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

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring
the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
