Hi Dave,

A few weeks ago, you saved my bacon with the suggestion that
I read MSKB # 269075.

My boot had failed with the error ending with (what appears
to be) the very odd word \SYSTEMced.

I restored the default system hive, and all was well.

Until today...

I had to reboot, and when I did, I saw the error again, but
this time, the restore the system hive approach did not
work: The error repeated.

I then restored an image that I created yesterday, and the
system booted properly.

I am now looking further in the article and see the
suggestions to reduce the size of the system hive.

I will, of course, do that, but it brings me to my question:

Is it likely that all of this is just a temporary fix?

Sincere thanks for your thoughts,
