taskmgr userinit.exe 0x00012d, insufficient resource to logon, default user profile

taskmgr 0x00012d
userinit.exe 0x00012d

sometimes symantec v9 (or 10?) reports an error about windows update exe file

the problem is the login error insufficient resource to logon, default user profile will load

scan for virus / spyware , no luck

scan disk, no luck.

its a HP desktop with 2*256 MB ram

eventually swap the memory moduels to another bank,

then the logon profile failure to load problem vanished.

when this problem happens, the safe mode is ok to load.

its a hardware mainboard / memory problem,  I will find out next week to see if that client comes back to me with the same dreaded problem
