I have a Presario preloaded with Win XP now updated to SP3 and I.E.8 & OE6.
I have a broadband connection at speed upto 2mbps thru a Modem + Router. This morning when I started the computer the desktop background was not on Azul but had changed to Amber Flow and quite a few desktop icons were missing. Besides, the following dialog box appeared . User Environment 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 - An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry. Since the computer was shut down last night properly, I was surprised to see this ERROR msg. I tried to Restore it to a previous date, but, again it said that Your computer cannot be restored to ...... I then shut down the Modem and Router and tried the Restore. After restarting the computer everything came back to normal! What could be the cause and what should be done to prevent such happening in future as I have a lot of data and mails which I can ill afford to lose? Thanking you Regards Capt K Ripendran

Sounds like a corrupt profile

Thanking you Regards Capt K Ripendran Hi, Capt K Ripendran No boat or ship is unsinkable; no computer is immune from failure. Back up the stuff you can ill afford to lose - NOW! If the stuff is extremely important, then have two separate backups at two catastrophe-independent locations, in proper containers. Most important of all, verify that each backup can be properly restored onto a different computer with the very latest OS, so that you are sure that when you eventually migrate to another OS your restoration tools will work there. Doing backups right takes a lot of thought and some trial and error. You might want to have an 'expert' set it up. Just make sure that you actually independently test and verify the solution you and your expert come up with, and periodically retest to ensure the data from the oldest and newest backups can be restored. Trust but verify! Your expert may be another 'Bernie Madoff'. -Paul Randall

Thank you for your comments. I will make backups of all data in future.
Meantime, I would like to know as to what could have caused the problem - such as the USER PROFILE getting corrupted?! "SPAMCOP User" wrote in message ...
