Unable to load profile in WinXP?
Take a look at Microsoft's Support site.
Reply:I just dealt with a problem exactly like this last week. Here's the fix I used:
Log in with another account (ADMIN)
goto the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\...
Under here you will find some long numbers these are known as the Users SID, if there are a lot of people logged onto the machine there will be a long list in here.(Hopefully not). Click on 1 of them and check the details in the right hand pane and it should give you a profilePath.
Not sure if your profile is kept in the c:\winnt\profiles directory, or the c:\documents and settings directory. Check these first before changing the registry key
what you may find is that your profile may have a .BAK extension, if so rename the folder and remove the .BAK extension.
then go back to the registry and change the temp path to the correct path, then logout and back in as your user account, all should be back to normal.
hope this helps...

Registry changing is done at own risk
