Unable to login to my profile

I installed this program, Tunebite, restarted the computer and when I logged
in I went to a new desktop without any of my settings. A little message
appeared saying that my profile was not loaded and to check the event log.
Where is the event log??

Every time I restart or relog into the computer I am in a TEMP profile that
resets with each login.

I tried to create a new account but I can't even do that. I'm stuck with my
original account logging into this TEMP profile.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks

Ok I have found the problem and it dates back to Win XP. The OS has locked
the account. It can be fixed by editing a key in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\ProfileList.
Under here you will find some long numbers these are known as the Users SID,
if there are a lot of people logged onto the machine there will be a long
list in here.(Hopefully not). Click on 1 of them and check the details in the
right hand pane and it should give you a profilePath.

If you have blown away you profle, delete the key.
