This problem may occur if the directory that is associated with the account has been deleted from the Documents and Settings folder. A new user will have to be created. To create a new user account, follow these steps:

1. Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart the computer.
a. After the Power On Self Test (POST), press the F8 key.
b. On the Windows Advanced Options menu, use the ARROW keys to select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
c. When you are prompted to select the operating system to start, select Windows XP , where is the edition of Windows XP that you have installed, and then press ENTER.
2. Log on as Administrator.
. On the "To begin, click your user name" screen, click Administrator.
a. Type the administrator password, and then press ENTER.

Note In some cases, the Administrator password may be set to a blank password. In this case, do not type a password before you press ENTER.
3. In Control Panel, click User Accounts.
4. Create a new user account. Windows makes a new directory for the account in the Documents and Settings folder.
5. Quit the User Accounts tool, and then restart the computer.

Once this is done, you can try to copy the data from the original profile as per steps given in the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151
