Windows 7 Temporary Profile Help

Hi.

So I had an update saying updates would be made before shutting down last week. Since then I've only been able to sign into temporary profiles, and have found my old profile by going to My Computer>C: etc and saving my work onto a USB.

I'm now getting a message saying 'This copy off windows isn't genuine' but I have no idea why!?

Any ideas on how I can sign into my original profile instead of temporary ones?

Thanks

Your old profile got corrupted.
Go to Control Panel/Users and create a new user with Admin rights. Log out of the Temp user profile you are in and log in as the New User. Go to C:\Users and open up your old user name profile. Copy your files (Documents, Music, Favorites, Pictures etc) and Paste them into your new User Name Profile overwriting the empty one.
