missed it last time as I got no replies.

Thanks

The first two error messages can usually be cleared up by installing the User
Profile Hive Cleanup Service. Take a look at these web sites for more info.

I'm not familiar with the error message about other users being logged on and I
couldn't even give you a good guess. If you haven't done so already, you might
want to post a new question on this topic to the Windows XP General newsgroup.
It's possible that someone visiting that newsgroup may be familiar with this
issue.

Good luck

Thank you very much - I missed this KB when I was googling.

You are a genius - it seems to solve the problem (or perhaps it was
uninstalling norton which might have been the service at fault).  Anyway it
now works so thank you very much.

Far from a genius. Just someone who's dealt with a similar problem and knew the
solution. As for Norton, uninstalling it has been known to cure a lot of
problems.
