    Hi,

    My computer was working fine yesterday. Was turned off and restarted today but I'm getting 2 errors. I can't login to my profile but instead a default profile is started. I'm on a domain.

    First error,
    Source: Usernev
    Event ID: 1508
    Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

    DETAIL - The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format. for C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\\UsrClass.dat

    **I logged in as the admin and renamed the usrclass.dat to .old, rebooted and tried my profile but got the same error and logged into the default profile

    Second Error,
    Source: Usernev
    Event ID: 1508
    Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

    DETAIL - The system has attempted to load or restore a file into the registry, but the specified file is not in a registry file format.

    Any ideas would be a great help, the only thing new that I can see on the pc is service pack 3, which I would prefer not to remove
