He appears to have beaten me to it and is in the middle of reinstalling the
pc... oh well, I'll know for next time.

Thanks

If you can log in OK, you should be able to get into the registry.

Search for the error message at www.microsoft.com or www.google.com and you
should find out exactly what registry key needs to be fixed.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Win 2k Corrupted Profile

A colleague here managed to crash Windows 2000 and in doing so it corrupted
his profile. He can log in with his normal username/password, but he can't
get into Office 2000, as it says that there is an unrecognised character in
the path. Unfortunately, this also means that he can't uninstall office or
run the repair option (under any login).
 
Before we format the pc and start all over again, is there a profile
recovery tool that anyone knows of?
 
Thanks
 
 
Jon
