Problem loading user profile on Windows 7

I'm having a strange problem on two of my home 64-bit Windows 7 machines. About 75% of the time when I boot from a cold start, my profile fails to load. The event viewer gives me this error:

I found my issue. It is related to Media Center, which I'm running on both machines. If I shut down while Media Center is recording, it appears that the profile isn't properly closed. I've solved the problem by cancelling any recordings manually 15 seconds or so before shutting down.

when booting if you just wait 15 seconds before you type in password you should always get in. I have 2 windows 7 installations doing the exact same problem. Hope microsoft will fix it soon.
