Cause

This issue occurs when the computer contains corrupted user profiles.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 try to correct profiles when the profiles are corrupted. However, the registry self-correcting feature incorrectly calculates a structure size. Therefore, the system accesses an invalid memory address.
