Windows XP Profile Gets Lost After Installing Windows Updates

[Guest Bryan]

Hi:

 

I have one computer on my network. Every Sunday evening it automatically

installs Windows Updates, after it installs the update it restarts the

computer automatically. One of the computer, everytime it installs the

updates and restarts the computer when the user logs on he gets a brand new

profile. So I have to retstart the computer again then he gets his old

profile back. Is their a permanent fix for this issue?

 

Thank You

Not an answer, but a question.

What would happen if you set that particular computer

to automatically restart a second time on Sunday evening?

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in

conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on

its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any

hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,

http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?board=10.0, or other

appropriate forums for review by an expert in such matters, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
