RE: Profiles Fail to Load

Hi John,
I'm on vista home premium and am having a similar problem, it says the user
profile service cannot be loaded, the user profile failed the logon, did you
manage to resolve it? As it's a dell pc they had a go at fixing it which
worked for a day or two(they turned off the user control accounts in control
panel) but now i have the same problem as before, did u succeed in resolving
the issue?
Thanks
Dominic

I got a similar issue, and I found that you can create a different profile
and just move your files over to that. My problem is that I log on to a
domain, not a standalone computer, so I don't have the option of just
creating a profile with a different name.
There needs to be a solution to this if Vista is to have a future in
networked computers.
