Can you please tell me where i can locate the UPH installer thank you anthony

Anthony Rodgers,

If you click on the hypertext link in Jrosenfeld's post, it will take you to the UPH (User Profile Hive) Cleanup Service download page.  After you click on the Continue button to validate your Windows XP, you will be shown the download option.  Download the UPH Cleanup Service and install it.
