When I try to logon to my laptop I receive an error that reads: User
Profile Service service failed the logon. Can anyone please tell me
what I can do to get back into my computer? Underneath that error it
says : user profile cannot be loaded.

Please help.....:cry: This is my laptop but it's got all of my work on
it. (Customers info)

Thanks

Re: user profile failed logon

These instructions should get you going.

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/1...-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html

This happened to me, shortly after getting a new laptop with Vista. I
booted into Safe Mode, created a new Administrator privilege account, copied
my documents to that one's Documents folder, and nuked the old account. Now
I have a spare Administrator account to access the computer in case it
happens again.

As one of the entries in the page above states, you may be able to boot into
Safe Mode, run System Restore, and get back to before when the problem
occurred.

Re: user profile failed logon


I certainly will. My GF got in by using F2 and it's doing a scanning the
system with 3% left. (Memory diagnostics tool). I'm holding my breath
right now...it's restarting...Nope, didn't work... so we will keep at
it. I will let you know how it goes. LOL

Thanks,

Ok, it's now showing the Setup Utility... Do you know anything about
this? I am so lost. :(

HI,

Start up and when post has just finished ( the white writing on black
screen bit ), but before the Windows loading starts, hit F8 (it's F8 on
my mobo, anyway ).

Are you trying a system restore from safe mode ?

WOOOOOOOOOO Freakin HOOOOOOO :) :) We got it! We are in! You guys rock!
I felt like a rookie surgeon going in to do a heart transplant! We used
the link that Earl horton sent and after much patience and going in
through Safe Mode we changed the regedit. We have absolutely NO CLUE
what we just did, but we did it. :) LMAO

Thanks to you both for hanging in there with us.
Much appreciated. :)
