Problem with User Profile

Hi, am running XP Pro with 2 user profiles. I am experiencing a problem with
one profile and not the other. With the problem profile, the PC hangs shortly
after log-in and goes to a blue screen. Whenever I re-boot, it does a check
disk and the consistent error is that "ntuser.dat.log entry is not valid".

So my theory (and I would welcome challenge) is that if I delete and
re-create the profile, it may solve the problem? What do you think?

Also, if I do delete the profile and I accept the option to delete files,
what does this routine actually delete? (I want to back up relevant files to
restore later). I know it deletes the user's Favorites and "My Documents",
but what else?

Many thanks for your assistance!

The above MS link shows you how to save Data from the corrupted user profile
to another user profile.
