memory fails to release

[David]

my cpu usage in task manager reads 100% after running
some programs and multimedia files (it doesn't seem to be
isolated to any particular application). It doesn't
release so other programs can run efficiently. The error
message says error 1517,
"Windows saved user %1 registry while an application
or service was still using the registry during log off.
The memory used by the user's registry has not been
freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer
in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user
account, try configuring the services to run in either
the LocalService or NetworkService account." I am the
sole user of the Home XP machine. What is LocalService
account vs. user account?
Thanks for any help

The exact text of the error message would be helpful.

Look in Event Viewer at the logged errors.

1. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click =
Administrative Tools, double-click Event Viewer and select System for =
system errors or Application for application errors. Look for Error in =
the Type column and double click on Error to reveal a Description of the =
error. This can be copied by using Clipboard Viewer (see later).
=20
2. Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you =
should double click for further information and you can copy using copy =
and paste.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

3. For some errors you will find "+ Related Knowledge Base Article", =
which if double clicked takes you to the Knowledge Base Article =
containing a suggested solution.

There always seems to be a step 2 but not always a step 3.=20

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports (Step 1). Run Event Viewer and =
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window which appears =
is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close =
Event Viewer. Now start your message ( email )and do a paste into the =
body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer =
Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the =
first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. It can be helpful to place =
a shortcut to Event Viewer on your Desktop.

Hope this helps.
