Help on "Missing Profile Windows XP"

[Guest David]

I started XP pro today and received the msg.

 

"Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted"

error logging in

 

 

Now when I log into my account, the system thinks all of my user files

are in "c:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\" rather than the

"c:\Documents and Settings\david" directory.

 

I know how to repair this issue, but I am wondering if this is an

indication of a larger problem. Eg. is a repair of the profile

sufficient or should I reinstall XP before more issues surface.

 

Thanks

Perhaps instead of reinstalling XP, do a Check Disk,

I ran disk disk and all was OK. However, I have seen XP and Win2000

have one issue, and then 1-2 week later, the system has crashed! I

guess I need to keep a good backup!
