is it a domain controller? If so, you need to do some special user setup

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetAP01.asp

see the section on running on a domain controller..

if not, try changing the user in processModel in your machine.config to
SYSTEM and see if it'll run. Note I don't recommend running this way
for security reasons, but this will help flush out if it is your user
(and I think this'll work even if you are a domain controller)
