New user account creation fails - Vista 64 Ultimate

Posted: 04-08-2007, 07:04 PM
I have Vista 64 bit Ulitmate running on HP Presario dual core 64bit with 2GB
RAM.

I have the hard disk partitioned to two c and D. C for the OS and D for
data. I want the Users directory and everything under it on D.

And, this is where my problems started. When I create an account using the
Welcome Center the account creates (at least I do not get an error). But,
when I try to logon with that I get "User Profile Service service failed to
logon".

I see the following error in the event log
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service
Date: 4/8/2007 12:45:27 PM
Event ID: 1500
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
Description:
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that
you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning
correctly.

DETAIL - The system cannot find the path specified.

</System>
<EventData Name="EVENT_FAILED_LOAD_PROFILE">
<Data Name="Error">The system cannot find the path specified. </Data>
</EventData>
</Event>

My ProfileList key in the REgistry looks like this
Default : D:\Users\Default
ProfilesDirectory: %SystemDrive%\Users (I changed it to D:\Users and then
back)
ProgramData: %SystemDrive%\ProgramData
Public: D:\Users\Public

Any help in fixing this error is appreciated.

TIA
