HI Steven:
EVENT ID 1517:
Windows saved user MDVA\Administrator registry while an
application or service was still using the registry
during log off. The memory used by the user's registry
has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it
is no longer in use.

 This is often caused by services running as a user
account, try configuring the services to run in either
the LocalService or NetworkService account.

I also received a EVENT ID 1516 about 7 second later:
Windows unloaded user MDVA\Administrator registry when it
received a notification that no other applications or
services were using the profile.

The Knowledgebase article related to this issue stated
that I don't need to do anything about this message.
However, I still can't make any setting changes to the
computer no matter how I log in. I could add and delete
users though. I could not edit the local group policy.
We cannot print, and the user cannot use Outlook (the
error message just says "Cannot start Microsoft
Outlok.") This is happening on two XP Pro workstations,
and it started after I joined them to a new Windows 2000
domain.
I get a "Loading your settings failed. (Access is
denied)" Whenever I boot the machine, and when I just
log off and log on again without re-booting. There were
also some errors about ActiveX controls not working
(earlier in the week), but I'm not getting them now.

I hope this helps. If you need more information, let me
know.

Thanks for your help!
