The game asks to create a new profile on every launch

[remdale]

I installed and played Warcraft 3 v1.28f for a while. But now whenever I start the game, it asks me to create a new profile. It cannot see the one profile at all. Even after creating a new profile, it keeps asking to make a new one after restarting the game. It just makes new folders Profile2, Profile3 etc every time.
v1.29 is working well though.
What's happening? How do I fix it?

I've just sorted it out. The problem was the save path in the registry. I mistakenly used a wrong slash (/) instead of the correct one (\)
