log on a warning appears

[Guest Lily2009]

problem with an user profile: Is there any way to restore it?

When I try to log on a warning appears: 'It is impossible to load the

user

profile' [my error is in Italian]. In User Profiles under Status for

profile

with problem I read 'Backup' and not 'Local' like others.

You already asked this question in a different thread and I already answered

it. Please do not make a new post about the same question only a few

minutes later; wait at least 24 hours before doing this.

 

Find your original thread - search Google Groups Advanced Search if you

don't remember where you posted. Any further questions should be posted in

*that* thread; I won't be monitoring this one.

RE: log on a warning appears

 

From Malke:

 

Usually when a user profile has become corrupted (like in your case),

there's nothing you can do except create a new profile. The data from the

old profile will still be there (look under Documents and Settings) and you

can copy it to the new account.

 

If you are saying that you no longer have any user accounts (you had only

made one for yourself and that's the one that's corrupted), log into the

built-in Administrator account and make your new user account from there.

 

In XP Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping

the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right

menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once

in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The

default password is a blank.

 

In XP Pro, you do not need to go into Safe Mode. At the Welcome Screen, do

Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in

"Administrator" and whatever password you assigned when you set up Windows.
