Stewart,
Regarding your 'Unknown' user profile, I've seen this quite a bit myself.
It appears the profile has been corrupted--this can even include the
'administrator' profile at times. To correct the problem, I've always
deleted the unknown profile and logged on as the respective user--Windows
recreates the user profile to include it's correct name afterwards. Just
keep in mind, there might be documents in that 'unknown' user profile. You
should check the profiles under C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE% just
to make sure.
Otherwise, I'm a little confused here--are you able to logon locally using a
user account that is part of the administrator group?
Respectfully,
Todd

Operating System:
Windows XP Home Edition w/ all current updates.
I originally posted a question about receiving the
following error message when attempting to set a password
for a scheduled task:
"0x8007007a: The data area passed to a system call is
too small."
The only feedback I received was to make sure the account
had admin privs but this was already the case.
I then attempted to change the account type to limited
for this account and it would not allow me to do this.
In the past I have done this and XP simply prompts the
user to select which profile to be used when logging in.
Since the account type could not be changed I started to
think that something was corrupted.
I then attempted to login using the Administrator account
and received the following error:
"Unable to log you on because of an account restriction".
Finally, I checked user profiles under System Properties
and there was an entry named "Unknown:.
I'm at a loss and would appreciate some feedback and/or
suggestions.
Thanks.
