okay so i logged onto my laptop today and it asks me for my password(standard) and then it says "preparing your desktop" and i said to myself, hm, thats strange, this never happened before and wam. it goes to a completely different profile.

at the taskbar, it said this:

your user profile was not loaded correctly!
your have logged on with a temporary profile. changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. please see the event log for details or contact your administrator.


thats strange because i dont know why it did this, i went to user profiles or whatever, and checked on manage users and "guest users" was turned off. going onto google and searching with 'windows vista temporary user' i have something like this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940453 but i cant follow the steps because my vista doesnt have some of those folders, so i continued searching.

now this seems more likely what i want: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947242/en-us

but i dont know which to delete, in the sublist, theres one registry that is something .bak:

S-1-5-21-1690825338-3795872264-1841139756-1000.bak
the other one is S-1-5-21-1690825338-3795872264-1841139756-1000 without the .bak, which one is the SID.bak? the first one right? there are other sublists on it but i dont know what they do. can someone that have had this issue help me with it? i have tried restarting the laptop(3 times) and shutting it off then turning it back on(2 times) and it still loads the temp. user. the main user folders and stuff are still intact, how do i fix this? thanks.

This kind of thing has been happening with me (on XP). The microsoft support page didn't help me. I can't get into my old account at all.

Shit sux, especially when I'm forced to log off/restart

ive never had this happen to me on xp(thank god) but this is really weird, wish someone can help, if not im going to kill that registry off and back it up on an USB because once i log off, everything vanishes and im unsure if i should kill it off or not so i want some advice first.

Do you have an Admin account on your compy? Because if you do you can salvage your other account. It sounds like your Profile was corrupted though.

This happened to me once, and I rebooted and tried to login again, and it was fine after I rebooted. Weird.
