Cannot Login To XP / Profiles Don't Show Up
Aug 10, 2009
Since yesterday, my computer is not showing the user profiles and I am not able to log-in to my Win XP laptop. I tried loggin into the 'safe mode' or 'last saved configuration' but both of them also stop at the page where the user profiles show up. Probably, my user profiles got corrupted or something. Is there any easy way to log-in into the laptop and create new user profile? Otherwise, I will try repairing the O.S or installing a second O.S and backing up the data before re-formatting everything.

Normally when I turn on my computer, it loads and logs in automatically and doesn't need to show the login screen. But today when I turn it on, it goes to the login screen. So I click my name which is Compaq_Owner, and it logs me in. I see a quick flash of my background of my desktop with no icons, and then it goes back to the login screen and logs me out. It says "Saving Personal Settings" and "Logging Out" . Then I am back at the log in screen. I do not get any errors, just this. I have tried Safe Mode and making a different account I can log into, but it doesn't work. I did a system restore to Monday, 2 days before it started this. I then log in and it does the same thing all over again. I have also restarted and tried to log in, but that doesn't work either.

A few months back I had set a password on my computer and my roommates were doing nasty things with my computer. Well not that the maturity levels have risen, I have no need for a password on my computer. StartControl PanelUser AccountsRemove Password. That's done, but when I reboot, I still get the XP Pro login box. No password is required, but I still have to press enter to move on. I'd like to get rid of this.Also, when I press control+alt+delete I am brought again to the goofy XP Pro menu where I can choose to bring up the task manager, lock my computer, change password, shutdown, etc. I'd like for this too, to be gone. I would like the taskmanager to show up.

I'm having a problem on my parents' computer. They each have a separate user profile, but for some reason flash player only works on Internet Explorer on one of them. What could cause this and are there any possible solutions?

Lots of schools need to run one desktop for all users. Not a standard default user template. But to actually disable user profiles like you could in windows 98. With 2600 users xp takes to long to login when it has to create a profile each time because we use a security program that freezes the desktop and dismisses any changes to the c: once rebooted.Does anyone know of a way to disable user profiles or assign a profile where
everyone uses it and a new local one is not created

Does anyone know why, when I click a user name, I get an error message "windows can not load users profile settings. But will load default settings because the file is being used by another process"? Was recieving error message about virt mem last week. Couldn't increase paging file (maxed-384mb). But, changed settings to 1000/1000 max/min to stop virt mem message. Now, I'm the only one who can log on without the computer freezing and that's the message I get. I'm the administrator. The default settings are set to my daughters user name. My user name is password protected and my family all use the computer. We only use it for surfing-email and IMing. Don't run many programs. Why is my memory being used up? Ran adaware, SpyBot. Have Spyware Blaster.Mcafee firewall/virus protection. All clean.

I'm using XP Home edition and have set up user profiles with passwords. They at one point they were able to log onto the Internet from their accounts. Now they are unable to access anything other than their own documents. Any ideas what happened and how to fix this? The virus software is up to date and the scanner runs clean, although the sytem overall seems slower.

When logging users onto a workstation that is part of an Active Directory Domain on a SBS2000 controlled network I am having the following problem: unless the user or user's group is part of the local Administrators group the profile will not be loaded or updated correctly, especially as concerns desktop wallpaper or drive mappings.what am I missing in my group policy or security settings to let any member of the Domain Users group update their profile?

A friend is running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. They currently have 4 Windows XP user profiles setup. They want to remove 3 of the profiles and consolidate into just one. Is it just a matter of going to Control Panel and removing the other three profiles or is there more to it than that?

I recently migrated numerous user profiles from XP SP2 workstations in an NT domain to new XP SP2 desktops in an SBS 2003 domain. The original workstations were formatted FAT32. The new workstations are NTFS.I logged on to the old workstations as the Domain Admin and copied the user profiles on each machine to the server. I then deployed the new system, logged on as the users to create the folder structure, then logged on as the Domain Admin, and overwrote the new local profiles with the copies stored on the server. When logging on as the user without local admin rights, none of the users settings were applied. If the user was made a local admin,then the correct settings were applied.I checked permissions and ownership of the files in the profiles. I had to assign ownership of the files to the user as the domain administrator was listed as owner. The permissions were correct

How do you copy power schemes for one profile (the Admin or Setup profile) across all profiles that log on to that machine. Users are created in the standard folders under documents and settings, however their windows settings seem to be setup via some sort of profile creation script that windows uses. I have tried copying profile information from the setup profile to default and all users profiles... but it seems to make no difference. What I am looking to do is to keep all users profiles constantly ON, instead of standby after 20 min without changing each profile each time a new one is created.

When starting laptop, message appears saying cannot open user profile - Windows then insists on setting up a temp profile and (coincidentally ?) machine runs painfully slowly for about an hour. All original profile files and documents are visible using "explore" but each time machine is started a new temp profile is created. Have run C Cleaner, Disk Cleanup etc to try and sort out slow running (which seems to fix itself after some time) but the profile glitch is a pain

What happened is I just installed a new Hard Drive and a fresh windows install (XP Pro with Service pack 3). After all was installed it logged into my account (Me) which was my account with Administrator privileges. I did a series of windows updates now when I turn my computer on it goes straight to the Administrator account and not my account (me). So I have to log off or switch accounts from Admin to Me. I just want it to login to Me all the time. So I am not smart enough to figure it out.

We are running windows XP SP2 on a large domain. We have recently had several users login in that are somehow getting new profiles. This seems to be affecting only the XP machines. Roaming profiles are not being used. We have been editing the registry and repointing to their original profiles, deleting the newly created profiles and this returns their original desktop and solves the problem temporarily, but it continues to happen.

Is it possible to lock down a profile in WZC (Windows Wireless)? I am a network administrator and I would like to lock the company's wireless profile to the top of the list, and to prevent deletion or editing. The computers are on a domain fyi, and they must still have administrator rights.
Is it possible to disable the uninstallation of a program? I need to disable the uninstallation of a software that our company needs, while still allowing users to have administrator rights. Again, these computers are on a domain, and the user has a administrator account. Is it possible to change program uninstallation rights to only allow the domain administrator to uninstall the program? Or is it possible to edit the registry or something? I only need the restriction to this program.

I recently had to do a system recovery on WinXP, and when it was complete, it had renamed all my user profiles to: [USERNAME].[Computer Name] rather than just username.IE: C:Docume~1JohnDoe.My_Computer instead of C:Docume~1JohnDoe
Unfortunately, all my settings, documents, financial files, etc are located under the original JohnDoe folder (still present).How can I redirect the JohnDoe log-in to look at the JohnDoe folder rather than JohnDoe.My_Computer?(side note, I set up my computer to share, and when I put in the computer name, I spelled it slightly different than the original. I have changed it back to the original spelling, but with no success. I have also deleted the new folder, just to have it recreated at log in!)

I did more than one system restore and each time the process created a new user folder. I first thought all my settings were lost but since discovered I had several new user folders and the computer was no longer using my original folder when I logged in.

I dropped old laptop. There is a lot of information on it. As I have one of the small external cases for a laptop drive I installed the HD from the dead beast with the hope I could save the info on it. IT WORKS!! but when I try to copy or view anything in /documents and settings it denies me access. I tried changing the boot order to start on USB deviced to try and boot from it but it doesn't seem to see it.
