error message every 5 mins after SP4 update

Since the SP4 roll-up update, server running Windows Server 2000 started to give the following 2 messages every 5 min. I need to get the solution for exact error message, haven't found it anywhere yet. Thanks.

From tip 547 on the JSIINC website

1. You changed Permissions on the local %system root%\Profiles folder. The EVERYONE group needs Change permissions to load the profile. You also need at least Read on the system root and drive root.
2. If the system partition is low on space, or the registry size limit has been exceeded, the profile can fail to load.
3. The profile is corrupted. Either the local Ntuser.dat, Ntuser.man or the roaming copy of Ntuser.dat is corrupted. When this occurs, there is usually an event indicating a RegLoadKey failure.
4. The %system root%\Profiles\Default User folder is missing and the account does NOT have a cached local profile and is NOT configured for a roaming profile.
When you look at the Application Event Log, Event ID 1000 will have one of the following details where %s is the UserName and %d is the system error:

Hope this helps
