Corrupt user profile?

My logon window in XP Home has started to show this message:
"the system could not log you on. Make sure your username and domain are
correct, then type your password." When I click OK, the screen shows the
usual accounts...mine (with admin privileges) and the administrator account.
I enter my password and the desktop loads normally.

Does this mean a corrupt profile? ....if so, can I safely create a new one,
copy
settings, and delete the current one?
