error message !

when the pc boots at the welcome screen he display's something that he has troubles load a profile or something. when I go to the eventviewer I get this error message twice:


windows can't load the registry. this is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights

Detail: the system has tried to load a file in the registry or to put it back, but it has no registryfileallocation for: C:\Documents and Settings\Geert Verhaegen\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\\UsrClass.dat.

also the shutdown time is very high, is takes up to 1 minute to shutdown.

anyone ideas?
regards

 

Mindbug - if

If the \\ is really there between Windows and UsrClass.dat then that would certainly cause a problem.

Otherwise, are you only having problems with the one account or with others?

And as a general rule, posting the whole event helps. The extra detail makes searching easier. When you have an event open, if you click on the icon below the up/down arrows, you get a text copy sent to your clipboard that you can post here. Like the one below (from my PC)

Hi Mindbug

I had the same thing happen to me.
Every once in a while I'd get a message after signing on
Something about User setting not set and using default settings.

Here is what my Event Viewer looked like.

Now for the fix!!!
When I used a text editor to open my UsrClass.dat I had all NULLS, 256K worth.
I signed on as another user, renamed my UsrClass.dat.BAD
Restarted the computer, signed on and windows created
a new UsrClass.dat Problem Fixed!

Hope this helps you.
