Whenever I log into my Win 2K Pro box, I get this message:

_____________________________________________
Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

DETAIL - Not enough storage is available to process this command.
_____________________________________________

After I click "OK", the system goes to the desktop normally. It's not because of a lack of physical memory, because the machine has 1 GB of RAM. Any ideas?

That's not a RAM error it's a disk space error.

I have seen that happen on NT 4 and Win 2K systems when the Root Volumne runs out or runs low on disk space.

I see it whenever some dummy sets up a 2GB root partition and then installs everythingin it.

The RAID that the OS and everything else is on only has 1 partition, and that partiton is about 90 GB's. It's not a problem with a small partition as you can see. Any OTHER ideas?

Find someone that has a partition magic 5.0 or 6.0 boot disk and change your partition size. The name of the file eludes me at this time, but your swap file is wanting more space than is available. A better idea is to make additional partitions while you have the boot disk. Make one at least 2 gigs by itself and move the swap file to it.

now keep in mind that this is a shot in the dark because i'm not a win2k Pro (bad joke alert!).
make sure the admin has left enough space for the registry to grow and make sure that the admin has allocated enough space for the workstation and the server for the boot system partition. hope it helps.

This is a fresh instalation of Windows 2000 Pro. The only things I have done are apply the updates and service packs.

go to the directory and right click on the drive,select properties, and if ntfs is enabled, the quota tab should be there. you may need to adjust these parameters to get them more disk space,good luck,may the lord be with you-mike
