Create An Account For Another User I Cannot Create One, Either Admin Or Standard

Sep 13, 2009

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 (system specs: laptop 2.1 Ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb RAM, 500gb hd (about half full) nvidia 8400M GS, Avira Premium Security Suite). I have had the computer for about a year running fine with 1 main admin account. Now when I need to create an account for another user I cannot create one, either admin or standard. When I create it, using either the control panel or command prompt, it creates the user picture, making the account visible on the control panel user accounts screen, and on logon screen. However, when trying to log into the new account I am greeted with the error "User profile service failed on logon. User profile cannot be loaded." The standard fix for this from various forums is to edit the registry key of the account. However, on going to regedit I see that no key even exists for the account. On further investigation I discover that no user files have been created either. I attempted a system restore, but discovered that all my past restore points were gone, and intruigingly, the computer had stopped createing 24 hour checkpoints. I cannot say for definite whether it was this issue or another one that caused system restore to mess up, as I don't check my system restore all that often. Either way, system restore is not an option. There have been mentions of a full Vista reinstall, though if at all possible I would like to avoid this.

Create Local Account Won't Create One Called Admin

Mar 5, 2009

When I install Vista, it wants to force me to create a local account, and it won't let me create one called Administrator, becuase the name is already used (thus the Administrator account exists). I don't want to create some dummy account just just to log in to join the domain. How do I get past the "Choose a user name and picture" screen and log in as Administrator so I can just install the network drivers and join my domain?

Bugged Thumbnails

Nov 14, 2008

one day my thumbnails just stopped loading and i have no idea how it happened.

when i open a picture folder it looks like this:

most of the time they look like this:

only way i can get them to display is to press the "Views" button 4 times then stop on the large icon view which displays properly:

could this be the thumbnail cache? or maybe the app/program that generates them?

possibly explorer?

Thumbnails Not Visible

Mar 27, 2008

I use Windows Vista home premium (dutch version)

Not Show Jpeg Thumbnails

Mar 23, 2008

None of my jpeg images show up in any folders, no thumbnails of them, but the bitmat ones show. I have already went in and made sure the show icons instead on thumnails was not checked, I've tried system restore, I've deleted the iconcache folder so it would be rebuilt, I've changed the monitor from 32 to 16 and back to 32 again. And restarted everytime I tried something new. I work in photoshop a lot, so it makes it really hard when you go to open a picture and there's no thumbnails in the folder, any folder. All of my pictures are now just plain ol icons. I've tried everything that I know to do. This is delaying me in a lot of work.

Pictures Appeared BUT Only Thumbnails Of Them

Nov 9, 2008

I have managed to lose all of my daughters photographs from when she was born until today. Basically my machine has been playing up for a while and I attempted to create a 'things to move' folder on the desktop to send all my important stuff too for when my external hard drive arrives on Monday. However I stupidly copied all of the data from the 'my documents' folder that sat on my desktop. This contained 'my desktop' and things spiraled as the 'things to move' folder was on the desktop but now also contained my desktop within it. Loads of error messages came up and I tried to back track by moving everything to a new location directly on the C: Drive.

I went to check the data tonight and couldn't find my daughters pics (they were stored in their own folder on the desktop itself) so i clicked the start button and typed the name of them. Low and behold in the search results all of my pictures appeared BUT only the thumbnails of them. If you click on the image to open it, it says it has been deleted or moved. It refers to the file name my documents/desktop/things to move/desktop/things to move/desktop......yadiyadiyada and despite searching everywhere I can't find the originals.

Video Thumbnails In Explorer

May 15, 2010

I have read similar problems on this forum, but, unfortunately, did not solve mine.

After installing a software (I'm not sure which, it could be VLC or ffdshow codecs or videopad), video thumbnails in Windows Explorer would not show a frame from the video, just the icons. I then downloaded a .reg file which restored the video thumbnails, but now it only shows the first frame of the video, which is usually blank. So now all my videos show a blank black picture, which was not so earlier. Before the problem started, it would pick up a random frame from the video.

Thumbnails In Windows Explorer

Dec 26, 2008

For all my photos, unless I view them in "Windows Photo Gallery which is inconvenient. I want to view them in Windows Explorer, I do not see real true thumbnails, I just see this default scene of water, green hills and sky. I have followed the instructions here Thumbnails in Windows Explorer here Default Programs - Program Default Associations (tho I wasn't thrilled about making Windows Photo Gallery my default program for JPG, I followed these instructions anyhow).

I NEVER had a problem like this in XP. I'm beginning to understand why Vista has such a bad reputation. Using (or attempting to use) Vista Home Premium 64-bit, BTW, (much less important question) why doesn't my Photoshop Elements even show up as an option when I set default programs? This problem was annoying before but to still have it after going thru all these forum instructions is really annoying.

No Thumbnails In Media Center

May 22, 2008

I have not been able to get thumbnails in Media Center for my home videos. Media Center displays the file name and will play the videos, but I don't know what I am going to watch until I click "play". I am using a Sony DCR SR 42 handycam, Sony editing software, and Vista premium 64. The software disk states not compatible w/64 bit, however it loaded on the first try, I can capture video, edit, and play video. Thumbnails for videos show up in Pictures(default storage file), and Media Player, but not Media Center. So... ...am I overlooking a setting, or do I need a patch or maybe something else?

How Preview Tabs As Thumbnails?

Feb 26, 2009

after spending almost 30 min (yeah yeah I'm a newb or whatever you call people like me these days) trying to figure out how I can preview the tabs as thumbnails when I scroll my mouse over the task bar, I see that IF you have Vista Home Premium or better, you can change your Color and Appearance to Aero and then supposedly the option (under the Taskbar and Menu section in the Control Panel) for previewing tabs as thumbnails is supposed to be click-able... I have Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56, etc. ... I tried to change the color to Aero and it won't let me, so of course it won't let me preview the tabs as thumbnails either.

Not Have Thumbnails Off Task Bar Or Transparency

Aug 3, 2008

Im new to vista but really like it alot except that my install does not have the thumbnails off the task bar or transparency. I have Vista Home Basic 32bit. I installed this the same time as a friend of mine we both bought the same version for vista (At a discount of course) His install has these options but mine does not. I have posted else where without any real answers to my questions, most everyone said make sure your video graphics drivers are installed which of course they are. I have of course Activated my install and ran all the nec. updates including SP1. Is there a way i can tweak this think to have these featurs that i like so much?

Can't Get Explorer To Display The Thumbnails For Any Picture

Jun 2, 2008

I keep all my photos on a networked computer. On my Windows Vista Home Premium computer, I can't get Explorer to display the thumbnails for any picture. It only displays a generic image icon. If I open a folder on the local hard drive, it shows the previews fine.

I've made sure that to uncheck "Always show icons, never thumbnails" in Folder Options. I've applied the folder template "Pictures and Videos" to the network folder. My Windows XP computer seems to have no problem displaying image thumbnails. How can I get Vista to display the image thumbnails on a network folder?

Thumbnails Generate Then Disappear In Explorer

May 3, 2008

I am running Vista Home Premium SP1 with all recent updates on an Acer 5420 laptop. However, while using Explorer to look at folders with jpg, bmp, and other image files; I see the thumbnails quickly generated only to have them disappear and be replaced with a generic icon for the file type. Video files (wmv, mpg, etc.) have "persistent" thumbnails. After searching for possible solutions I have applied, or confirmed, the appropriate options for Explorer -- uncheck the Show icons, never thumbnail option, etc. Additionally, the system performace is set to "best appearance" (It has also been set to about every other possiblity as well). Various registry modifications have been applied -- with no resolution. The system has been restarted after each change in configuration. Refresh will "flash" the thumbnails for a split second before returning to the generic icons.

This is driving me crazy, not to mention wasted a couple days of productive time. Since the thumbnail view is so critical to my daily work, I purchased a third party file utility (PowerDesk) whose thumbnail functions are flawless. I would stay wit this solution except for the fact that my workplace doesn't want to purchase license for multiple copies of PowerDesk, when Explorer should be more than adequate. Why won't Vista's explorer perform as it should? (Other than, "you should have stuck with XP!" I would have loved to have stayed with XP, but it wasn't my decision to migrate -- downgrade IMHO -- to Vista.)

Thumbnails Pictures Can Not Open Folders

Oct 13, 2008

I am new to this forum. Recently, I have been not able to see thumbnails of pictures. All i can see is the standard river and tree like thingy. Secondly, I can't open folders in the same window. Each time i double click, it gets opend in a new window. I tried different methods to both the problems like going to folder options, unchecking "always show icon, never thumbnails" , a full scan of my system( using norton). I even tried some of the solutions posted in this forum. But still both the problems are not solved.

One thing i noticed is that, when i on my computer, i can see thumbanils for few seconds then all of them get changed to the standard image.(river and tree). Could this be due to a virus or something?

Doc Thumbnails: Showing The Standard MS Word Icon

Dec 11, 2007

I have a .doc file saved and Vista shows a thumbnail of what it really looks like. However, in my Documents folder, none of my .doc files are displayed as a thumbnail but instead all show the standard MS Word icon (I do have this one OpenOffice drawing file saved in my Documents which displays as a thumbnail). My questions is simple: What determines whether or not Vista will display a thumbnail for a .doc file?

File/folder Search: Cannot Delete The Thumbnails

Mar 23, 2008

I performed a "search" for a portion of a name of an encryption program that we deleted from our computer because it didn't appear to be fully compatible with vista, even tho the creators said it was (they did admit tho that they didn't test it)...the "search" turned up 335 items, most of which were "image files". We cannot delete the thumbnails because it says the file or folder has been deleted. These items came up as search results in indexed locations. we tried to go to the location and delete that way with no luck.

Can No Longer Access Picture Files Or Thumbnails

Mar 31, 2008

When I booted my Vista Business laptop this morning the wallpaper had gone black. I used to use a pic from my Pictures folder as my background. Now I can no longer access picture files or thumbnails through the Desktop Background applet in Control Panel. When I try to browse to the Pictures folder it appears empty. When I mouse over the contents, I get blank transparent boxes with the picture names, instead of thumbnails. If I try to use a Windows background picture, the thumbnails there are pixellated generic icons. The only background I can set is Solid Colour. I can change colours but that's it. There's no error message when I try to change my wallpaper. My user account is an Administrator (both domain and local) and I don't use screen savers. I've already tried the following suggestions from this board (rebooted after each step):

- Checked Group Policy settings, made sure all items under User ConfigurationAdmin. templatesDesktopDesktop are set to "not configured"
- Checked Ease of Use settings, backgrounds are NOT disabled
- Downloaded and "merged" the "wallpaper enable" reg file from Winhelp
- Downloaded/ran KB Hotfix 934008
- Tried steps in Vista Tutorial on disabling/enabling desktop changes, including other links to reg hacks (none of which worked).
