| 1222551 | 2011-08-11 20:03:00 | got woken up very early to my dad saying "GameJunkie, you have to come downstairs right now" :D. 6.30am:sleep:horrified i get downstairs, the desktop has gone back to the default windows background, firefox with no bookmarks etc, and no documents etc in the downloads folder/my documents, no music in itunes folder etc etc etc. anyway, before i was gonna do a system restore i said i'd do a restart and see what happens. rebooted, typed in password, and hey presto, everything is back to normal. all of this happened whilst im getting the blame( and my brother too); threats of removing the broadband ensued :lol: but seriously, what could have caused this to happen??, and should i be worried about this happening again????

| 1222552 | 2011-08-11 20:28:00 | It sounds like windows had trouble reading the user profile or registry so created a temp one. When you rebooted it was able to read it again. I would run a hard drive test to make sure that's ok. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1222558 | 2011-08-13 11:49:00 | I've seen this happen if the registry becomes corrupt and it restores it from a backup. There is an error message saying that this has happened which appears before the user logs in I believe. You could check the system logs to see if that happened I suppose. The initial cause of the problem is a good subject for speculation... |
