Title: Help! My user profile did not load correctly
Post by: jimmy olsen on November 20, 2011, 11:19:38 AM
My user profile did not load correctly and I have been given a temporary
profile. Anything I do on this profile will be lost when I log off.  Is there any way to fix this?

I have vista.

Restarted, did a system restore and used AVG PC tuneup. Hasn't fixed whatever's wrong.

Vista 32 bit.

Log on with another account, rename your profile to be something else like Timmayold, log back on with your normal account, then off to the 2nd user account, copy the files from your old account into the new one, log back in.

I don't have another account, how do I make a new one?

Glad to be of help.  You should schedule a New England Languish Meet.
