I am sorry that I was not clear enough. The problem exists
for just one user but it is my main user that I usually
use. I do not have a restore point to restore. I have
verified that the ntuser.dat file is the problem because I
have created a new user and copied the bad profile to the
new user, as suggested by a KB article. When I do that the
new user also has a corrupt profile. When I delete the
ntuser.dat file for it then it does not complain about the
profile being corrupt. So probably (hopefully) the problem
is limited to the ntuser.dat file. If I cannot recover
and/or fix the ntuser.dat file then I will simply rename
it and use the ntuser.dat file that Windows will
automatically create.
