Hi all

I'm receiving this message when I boot up my win2000 machine. "windows
cannot load the user profile but has logged you on with the default profile
for the system. DETAIL:access is denied." A 30 second countdown is displayed
and the OK button. When pressing OK I get my desktop. This message appears
when i try to log on as the administrator or a different user. Can someone
tell me how to fix this?
Thanks

The article is a little deceptive. At step 7 create a new database.

Dave,
Not sure what I'm looking for, but there are errors in event viewer which
are listed under the type column. The event log start date is 11/22/04 and
the end date is 12/20/04. Most of the errors have a source of "service
control manager". There are a couple of errors that have a source of "dhcp"
and one error with a source of "MrxSmb".

A littel history. I originally updated this computer to win2000 from win98.
This computer is part of a small business network. The server is running NT
service pack 6. I added this computer to our workgroup and changed its name
from MATTSOST to KAMMINJOH. These names appears in the computer column of the
event log.

Hope this helps you.
 
When you view the logged events in Event Viewer in the upper right corner,
third button down is a copy to clipboard, then you can paste in the body of
a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event detail.

Upgrades from win9x to Windows 2000 almost always result in some form of
corruption and instability.

If you can backup your data you'll be far ahead by doing a clean install.

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks.
The set of four install disks can be created from your Win2k CD-rom; change
to the \bootdisk directory on the cd-rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos)
or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.

During Windows 2000 setup, at some point, will want to confirm the previous
operating system for the upgrade; at that point you'll simply insert the
qualified product install CD for it to verify. Then the install will
proceed.

Check the pc, mb or hardware manufacturer's web site for the latest bios and
or Windows 2000 drivers for your devices.

Be sure to apply these to your new install before connecting to any network.

Dave,
I've created the bootdisks from my win2000 upgrade cd. I used makebt32.exe.
At this point I assume I start the clean install by inserting the win2000
upgrade cd which then directs me to the setup screen. I'm assuming the setup
cd will search for existing system and partitions and thats when you want me
to delete the partiition(s). After I delete the partition(s), you state abort
the install. How do I abort the install? Should I press Ctrl-Alt-Del or shut
the computer off? Doesn't windows automatically reboot anyway after the
partition(s) have been reformated?

Dave,
I really want to thank you for all of your advise. It's been a great help.

I'm completing the new win2000 installation. When done I'll apply the sp4
update along with the security patches you suggestted. Do I need to be logged
on as the administrator or logged on as any user with administrators rights?

Again, thanks for walking me through this stuff!
 
Any local user with local administrative rights will do.
