Max,
You are the 1st person to reply to me. I never found an adequate solution. I
wound up just setting up a new user and lost all the info for that original
user. Fortunately that wasn't much as I had just gotten the computer. The
problem has not occurred again.

Thanks for replying, thats what I intend to do as well. Actually, if you
didnt know, you can still retrieve all your files from the old profile by
going to: start - computer - hard drive - users -old account - etc.. But
still, this is a major glitch in windows, which for some reason hasnt gotten
much attention.

hi

I have the same trouble.
We join a vista pro to a new 2003 domain.
When we copy the profile from the old local profile to the new domain
profile the first time the copy crashe !!! (:
Then we reboot and we are unable to logon normally with the old local
profile or the new domain profile.
When we explore c:\users\oldlocalprofile the folder is empty with 0 bytes (:
!!!
The new one is the same.
Vista always want to logon with a temporary profile.
We lost the old profile with much data.

Any help much apprecied please...

Hi everyone

Try the solution here for this problem. Only you will see "BAK
instead of "BAD" in the instructions given

"Restore System not launch corrrectly, the system files not be changed" or
anything like that and I don´t know what i will to do ,please I need your help

So here is another problem.. i created a new account to use... deleted
the old one.... but it never pasted a folder with the old profiles media
on my desktop.. how can i access the information from the old profile..
when i try to open that folder it says i do not have access
