Hi

On the network we are running WindowsXP sp1 with around 200 clients, the
clients are regularly windows updated.

At this stage WindowXP sp2 is not an option

When a client logs in, a windows registry pop-up box appears saying:
One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered
by use
of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful.

I have seen a few articles and followed a few suggestions:
running chkdsk
Updating video drivers
removing local shares
Running a registry cleaner
Repairing the computers system files from cd

I have not had any success correcting this error

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thank you
 
Thier are several steps you can take to fix that,article #307545 #307973
Even though 307545 specifies corrupted registry preventing xp from starting,
it will fix the registry for youre problem.
 
Hi Bradley,

Error Message: Windows Cannot Load Your Profile Because It May Be Corrupted

Create a New User or Restore the User Profile

Suggestions:

Right click My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Locate the
entries for your hard disks and double click each entry. On the Policies
tab, uncheck Enable write caching.

You will see a performance decrease because of this, but if the corrupt
registry/user profiles problems cease, then you'll be certain of the cause.

Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore.
Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user
hives.

Or...

Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from
%windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a system
restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message began to
appear.

Or...

Relocate NTUserdat

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change and
then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to use.
You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.
