After uninstalling an HP Vector mouse driver, then rebooting, when Windows tries to auto log me in, I get an error message saying the following.
The User Profile Service failed the Login. User Profile cannot be loaded.
Due to the fact that it is the only account on this PC, I cannot even go into another account.
I rebooted the machine several times, before going into Safe Mode with Networking. For some reason, I cannot create a new account whilst in safe mode (I think it is to do with UAC, nothing with UAC is clickable).
Thus, I am stuck. I cannot get into my account, nor can I create a new one to copy files over to.
How do I fix this problem?
EDIT: System Restore was, for some reason turned off. Thus, I cannot restore to a working point.
Any idea why this happens? I've had this same problem happen twice on the same profile – crmpicco – 2015-10-03T17:16:02.777
I forgot to mention that System Restore, for some reason was turned off. So no previous restore points have been created.
I will try chkdsk, then try renaming and let you know how i go. Thanks – Ryan – 2010-01-06T06:04:54.123
also, there is no administrator account that I am aware of. There is no administrator folder in /Users, and I cannot view a list of users in Control Panel > User Accounts because safe mode does not allow it. Can you think of anything else that could solve this issue? – Ryan – 2010-01-06T11:36:31.240
As a last ditch effort, I would try booting into the recovery mode from the DVD and try to create a new user using "net user <username> <password>" and then "net localgroup Administrators <username> /add". You may want to also try this from "Safe Mode With Console". Otherwise get yourself and external hard drive and xcopy/robocopy C:\Users\YourProfile to the external drive plus whatever other data you have. You may also use a Linux LiveCD to accomplish this. Otherwise... best of luck and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help further. – ta.speot.is – 2010-01-06T12:59:38.753
You may also want to try these tricks to see if you can elevate yourself to administrator: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_administrative_privileges.htm
