User account problem

Hi!I'm new to the forums,and I see that this is the only place where I can find help.I've recently began to encounter rather nasty problems on my laptop,which is really important to me cause I'm a college student,and a lot of my homework is done on the laptop.

The thing is that my user account created some kind of a mess.
I only made one account on xp,for me and I decided to make a password for it also.After the xp loading message I would receive the message that the system could not sign me in and that I need to write the password (roughly translated because the system is in croatian).It was ok,i just wrote the password and got in.

Anyway,after some time,the system asked me for the password again,but this time this message appeared briefly and disappeared suddenly,leaving me with the screen that only said Windows is starting,and it seems like at this point it crashes.I tried to fix the problem and accidentally deleted this account,but before that i created another account without the password.Now I'm working on this new account.However,the problem of the message appearing briefly and then disappearing,still remains,even though I deleted my old account.Sometimes it crashes,sometimes it loads and I can work normally ( like this one,the system didn't crash,I was lucky enough).
What should I do about this problem?I'm a student,and it really is important for the sake of my school performance to solve this problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Suggestions:

Right click My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Locate
the entries for your hard disks and double click each entry. On the
Policies tab, uncheck Enable write caching.

You will see a performance decrease because of this, but if the
corrupt registry/user profiles problems cease, then you'll be certain
of the cause.

Logon to another account with admin privilege and run System Restore.
Choose the most recent restore point and SR should restore the user
hives.

Or...

Boot into safe mode and log in as Administrator. Copy ntuser.dat from
%windir%\repair to "Documents and Settings\[your user id]". Now do a
system restore to a point in time prior to when the corruption message
began to appear.

Or...

Relocate NTUserdat

Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and find the profile you want to change

and
then change ProfileImagePath to the ntuser.dat folder that you want to
use.
You must manually copy or move the ntuser.dat file there.
