As far as i know there have been no problems on the computer when i last used
it (yesterday) so i am conpletely bemused as to what's wrong.
When i try to log in i get 4 messages which are shown like this in the event
viewer:

Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - Error performing inpage operation. for C:\Documents and
Settings\Jacob\ntuser.dat
Source: Userenv
Category:None
Event ID:1508


Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - Error performing inpage operation.
Source:Userenv
Category:None
Event ID:1502


Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try to
use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on.
Source:Userenv
Category:None
Event ID: 1515


Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary
profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
Source:Userenv
Category:None
Event ID:1511

I haven't got a clue what to do. All of my files are lost. All my programs
are lost apart from the default ones. I've got some really important work on
here that i need to recover ASAP so please reply soon.
Thanks
Jacob

Hey Kingo,
I am having the exact same problem as you did. Have you had any luck in
figuring out what happened and also possibly how to fix the problem so that
it does not happen again? Please let me know, this is really bugging me.

Thanks,
Dominic

We were receiving the following event IDs: Userenv 1505, 1508, 1511, 1515,
1502 on the box. The above event IDs come if the user profile hives were not
unloaded properly from the registry or insufficient system resource doesn’t
allow the user profile to load properly. In such scenario windows load the
user with the temporary profile.

System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to
registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the
user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems
when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked
profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.

On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event
log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is
not
unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile
unload
problem.

To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have
registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which
application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the
application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system
finishes unloading the profile.

Suggestion to install UPHClean:

==========================

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are
completely terminated when a user logs off. To accomplish this service
monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When
that happens the service determines which application has handles opened to
the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry
keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.
