Vista user log on problem, help please


Recommended Posts

Everytime I try to log in it gives me "user profile service failed logon user profile cannot be loaded" Ok, can't figure out how to fix it. So I tried to make a new user and it won't create a new user from the guest account because its not administrator. So it asks for my admin password, but my admin profile is broken so the password doesnt work. Can i manually create a new administrator profile?

Proceed at your own risk. Basically, if you FUBAR your computer, its your own damn fault.

If you can, log in as another user, back up any necessary data.

Go into safe mode and system restore. If that doesn't solve the problem, then chance are, you'll probably have to reinstall Vista.

Not that big a deal if things are backed up. Take this as a prime example of why critical files should ideally have multiple duplicates. And why doing day to day computing with admin privileges isn't the best of ideas.

Also, after either one, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE you check for Windows updates. Either option will likely uninstall all/a couple of them.

I do realize this can sound elitist, but that's not my intent. Read my sig.

Because corrupted files is only a Windows problem. Troll-B-Gone.

No, but it does seem to be worse on Vista. I'd like to go back to XP, I love windows myself. But I don't like Vista. Maybe the next windows OS will be better.

Yeah I already tried that before I posted the topic, I was just trying to avoid a reformat. System restore will not work unfortunately, it just fails every time.
