Ok, i seem to be getting these 2 errors when windows boots up for some reason, but i have no clue what's causes them and how to fix them. can anyone help?

This error is in the Application log in Event Viewer:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1517
Date: 1/22/2005
Time: 7:51:32 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: DIGITAL_FORTRES
Description:
Windows saved user DIGITAL_FORTRES\DrAk0n registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 1517
Source: Userenv
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: EVENT_HIVE_SAVED
Message: Windows saved user %1 registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

Explanation
Windows unloads each user's profile and user's section of the registry when the user logs off. This message indicates that Windows could not unload the user's profile because a program was referencing the user's section of the registry. This locked the profile. The registry cannot unload profiles that are locked and in use. When the program that is locking the profile is no longer referencing the registry, the profile will be unloaded.


User Action
No user action is required.

check in your WINDOWS\system32\drivers folder for a driver named "pfmodnt.sys" and pls reply me whether or not you have this file ?

----

Open up the Local Security Settings snap-in,
Start ->Run and type secpol.msc

then skip the steps 1-3, continue with the steps 4-7.

[PangingJr]

if you can't find the "pfmodnt.sys" in the drivers folder, search your C drive for this file.
can you locate it ?

if you can't find it forget about adding the user name in the Security Settings part, for now.

go to Start ->Run ->regedit

then locate this registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es

then R-click on the "Services" folder and select "Export",
enter "Services_backup.reg" in the File name: box, then save the file as your backup for the Services registry key.

i might have to try to remove the service from your registry and see. after i've some more info from you. later.

i found the file, net. it also appears to be part of my sound blaster audigy2 zs drivers...

so what do I do now?

[PangingJr]

is this file located in \system32\drivers folder ?

Open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in open Run box and ENTER.)
click View and select Show hidden devices...
then expand the node Non-PnP Drivers...
see if the service "PfModNT" listed under that ??.

----

and then try... Open up the Local Security Settings snap-in,
Start ->Run and type secpol.msc
then press ENTER.

follow the above steps, but to skip the steps 1-3, continue with the steps 4-7.

4.Expand Local Policies ->User Rights Assignment.......... 6. Click Add User or Group -> Advanced.. ->Find Now, then highlight your windows log in name then click OK 2 times.

then reboot your PC and see.
