| 553631 | 2007-05-27 19:30:00 | Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm just new and don't really know how to use the "search"! But, Everything on my computer has been "wiped out" yet . . . when I type in "C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\My Documents" it shows my documents! But Windows is not letting me into them? or letting me into my account! Its sending me to the "default profile"! Is there anyway I can access my account back? Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system . DETAIL - Incorrect function . This is the popup that shows up when I try and log into my account! Please someone, can you help me? P . S I'n only 15, so if you could tell me . . . in an understanding manner that would be greatly appreciated:dogeye: |

| 553632 | 2007-05-27 19:52:00 | Hello and welcome to PressF1 :) Looking in google gave me a few possible replies. I would suggest before you try any of them, you login as admin and backup (save to cd/dvd/other harddrive) any files you want to keep. First possible fix: Under User Profiles reset the rights to your user profile folder. Login as an Administrator Go to System Properties - User Profiles - (select the profile that does not work)- select copy to - select the folder that represents the profile of the user you selected. This should solve the problem.found here (www.computing.net) Or you could try ... Search for ntuser.man & rename it to ntuser.dat if you don't pick up ntuser.man, then logg in with safe mode & networking as administrator, rename the corrupt profile, then, logg in again as yourself so that a new profile is created.found here (www.anetforums.com) Other possible causes/fixes: Found the problem... for other people's reference, I had a version of the ZoneAlarm Personal firewall installed, and for some reason teh firewall insists on holding on to certain files within the default user profile. As a result, when creating new user profiles it couldn't override this unless it was an administrator, and then it created new user profiles but didn't give that particular user any rights to change the registry settings in ntuser.dat (it had access to the file, but no access to write to the registry hive). In any case, all was fixed by uninstalling ZoneAlarm and recreating all affected profiles. Found here (www.anetforums.com) Good luck :thumbs: |
