Guest LJH Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Each time I now log in I have an error message telling me that "Windows cannot load my local profile & is logging me in with a temporary profile". This means that all my internet favourites & how i have set up the desktop is lost each time I log off. Any files etc in my hard drive etc though are unaffected. Can any one help? LJH

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: Lost Local Profile Db, That tool removes old/redundant profiles & won't fix the issue in question posted by the OP. Pegasus, hit the nail on the head with his reply The user can also check permissions on the profile folder at top level '[Drive Letter]\Documents and Settings\[username]' as these things happen when permissions are lost. Also, Norton Antivirus scans the users profile on shutdown, which sometimes locks it & when you login again you get another profile created, as it's still locked -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "db ´¯`·.. > ` .. ." <)))ºdatabaseben.public.newsgroup.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:%23ZmuYkuxHHA.1568@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > i have not encountered > issues as of yet. maybe > because i use this: > > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1B286E6D-8912-4E18-B570-42470E2F3582&displaylang=en > > -- > > db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. > ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> > > > . > > > "LJH" <LJH@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:4C3CF846-D675-47B4-81D9-61E2974AB266@microsoft.com... > > Each time I now log in I have an error message telling me that > > "Windows > > cannot load my local profile & is logging me in with a temporary > > profile". > > This means that all my internet favourites & how i have set up the > > desktop is > > lost each time I log off.

I have had a gazillion problems with XP profiles which are nearly all cleared up by installing & running this service. Anyway, there are certainly a whole host of far-less-useful WU/MU things deemed "critical updates." (!)
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: Lost Local Profile yes, thank you for providing that information. of course, once the profile is corrupted then corrective action must be taken, like that suggested i read by pegasus. i could have been a bit more descriptive, but after the profile is restored or repaired, then the tool i suggested will likely protect the system from that problem occurring again. thanks again.... -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

However, the "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" tool that you and others were advertising in this thread prevents exactly this EventID 1517 and the similar EventID 1524. No more, no less.

Again, this fabulous tool doesn't avoid any profile *corruption* problems and the installation doesn't harm either. -- d-d

Dude. Why are you arguing with me, especially as you're agreeing that it can't hurt to install it? I didn't run over your dog on the way to work this morning, did I? :) All I can tell you is that without this installed, I run into problems.With it installed, I don't. Done, over, nuff said, quit.
