Looks to me like your account is corrupted. Error 1000 suggests failed to load/create your account. Try loging on as a "administrator" (that's user name, password is yours to know) to create new account for your self and log on to that new account from now on.

You did say it is a Win 2k? But you didn't mention is it SP4?

Anyway, there must be a discription in your event log like:
Type : Error
Event Id : 1000
Description : Windows cannot unload your registry file. If you have a roaming profile, your settings are not replicated. Contact your administrator.
Detail: Access is denied
If you post it I can look it up.
