jerryf Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Can any one tell me what has happened with my windows system? I get the folowing messageWindows cannot load the users profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system. All or most of the icons are gone and other strange things happen. My system has worked for several years without any problems, now this. JerryF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sounds like your NTUSER.DAT (your profile) is corrupt. Do you have any restore points you can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 if you don't have a restore point that fixes your profile you can do the following.Log in as a different user with admin rights after a reboot, do not log in as the user that is having the problem.Make a copy of the profile directory.Delete the original directory.Login as the user that had a problem, you will get a newly created profile.Copy the bad profile into the good profile, some files will be in use just skip those.You should have most of your profile and settings back except those stored in the registry.
