Weird XP message during boot up any ideas?

[Clinth]

During boot up/logon I get this message or somethning real similar.

Windows can?t load user profile
but has logged you on as default user

Detail- Not enough storage is available
to process this command

Does any know what this means and how to get rid of it? I have over 2 gigs available space on the hard drive and with 512mb ram I don't think I'm running out of space there either. When I do get to the desktop everything looks like I logged into my profile. Any help is appreciated

Not sure what could be causing your troubles but have you tried checking into the accounts that exist on your system? How many are there? Can you change to your old profile after you have booted to Windows? How about deleting other profiles for now (as long as you can access the "administrator" account) and see if that changes anything.
Actually, with as much space as XP uses (it's a hog), maybe 2 GB isn't enough?!

Does it take a long time to start up? If it does I had this same problem and it was a bad user profile. I just had to create a new profile and delete the other one.

I only have 2 profiles on the machine maybe this on is bad I will delete it and see. It boots just fine no real deleys that I can tell.

I think you need to try (as rosebud6 mentioned) to create another user account. Here is an article from MS Knowledge Base that somewhat addresses this. Just go into the user accounts and create another "Administrator" account from scratch. It should work. Then delete the old one.
