I can't access my profile - message says use temprorary profile?
Temporary profile works fine but I can't access my files? There was only one profile on the laptop before I went to try the temporary one????? Any suggestions would be appreciated! |

reboot in safe mode and check out your administrator access

message is telling me that profile is corrupt and sends me to temporary profile. Thanks for any help!!!

sounds like someone has hacked your puter
best to do a virusscan in safe mode and look for any changes also have you had anything weird happen lately or gotten any emails you thought were weird? |

No weird emails...

First:
There is an item called "event log" - you will want to look at the System and esp. the Application event log. there will be a specific error about your profile. Please post what that error is saying. To get there - right click on "My computer", "Manage" and you will see the event logs as a choice. Most likely, you will have to create a new one, but you can log in as Administrator to copy all the things from "old" to "new" |

searched files and folders for ntuser.dat
found in old profile and sent to recycle bin copying old files to new profile while keeping fingers crossed! Thank you everybody so much!!!!!!!!!! Will post results. |

on the c:\ of any profile , there will be a file called ntuser.dat ....it contains info about ur user settings ,and account information
seems like that file has gone corrupt for some reason ..... log on 2 the Administrator account from safe mode ...and perform a system restore .... that should help .... |

Thanks for all the ideas. Finally got a new profile up and was able to copy all the old files from the old profile to the new profile. Everything seems to be OK!!! Staples and IT TECH guys couldn't help.....Can you imagine that?
