I have been getting this error for about a week now. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Kerberos
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4
Date: 8/21/2007
Time: 10:25:14 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server MAINTENCE3310$. The target name used was cifs/MELISSAXP.companyname.local. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (COMPANYNAME.LOCAL), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.

According to the Microsoft documentation, EventID:4 means that the system cannot open the file.
There could be several reasons why a file could not be opened.
Are you doing something in particular when this error comes up? Is the error always coming up at the same time?
You need to isolate what is happening and what file is being accessed by the system.

Ran SFC.EXE /SCANNOW,

I have a doubt. When a profile is corrupt in a standalone Vanilla Windows XP is there anything we can do ?

How did you manage to put in this RAM, if you had 2 and pulled out 1Gb and only be left with 512MB, surely you would remove the 512 and leave 1GB.

How did you get into this mess some details about you system would help!

by ramuvr

I don't know what really happened. But here is my Windows XP.

Win XP SP2 regularly updated (so probably some SP3 patches are in)

Transcend 512MB RAM now running
I have UMAX 1GB RAM of a slightly varying frequency which was running until yesterday when I removed it folowwinf the freeze up. I removed it only after this event ID 4

Avast Antivirus Home editions (free), SUPER Antispyware (Trail), Trend Anti Rootkit scanner (Beta)

40GB HDD, HP Printer, Motorola Phone software installed, Office 2007, Adobe and sort of craps installed! I have a DVD drive, use USB thumdrives quiet often.

Nothing more.

by ramuvr

I bought this PC some one year back, was running on Transcend 512MB and i upgraded with this UMAX 1 Gb some 2-3 months back.

Boot in safe mode (press F8immediately after POST), go to Start > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore, select a date prior to when you experienced this problem (you can only select dates in bold as these are the only dates that restore points were created), restart the computer.

If this fails to fix your problem, try an earlier date. Look at the info for the restore points , it may give you a clue as to what went wrong!

Post back if you have a problem with this or it does't work.

by ramuvr

That would have worked .....

had I started System restore, which unfortunately was not on. I have given up the repair attempts and now plan to purchase a new Vista and install it.

Thanks for the help mates..
