Hey all,
Recently a the power to my appartment screwed up for just a second, and when my computer turned back on this is what I got:
"We cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Contact your administrator."
It then goes on to say:
"We cannot find local profile and is logging on to a temporary profile. Changes will be lost when logged off yadda yadda."
Here is my biggest problem, when I log on under the "guest" profile, a lot of my files are missing! This includes everything I was keeping on the desktop folder, like my zip files, the "my pictures," "my music," etc folders, and my internet favorites and so forth. They are not deleted - as my hard drive still says the same ammount of memory is used up - and all my other programs that were NOT in the desktop folder are still fine.
I was wondering if anybody knew how to repair my old profile.... or at the very least how to get to my old files? Those are most important, if I end up having to make a new profile or reformat the computer, all that is ok as long as I can back up the old files that I do not currently have access to.
Thanks for any help! I hope this isn't too bad of a problem... :sigh:

EDIT: Actually, after my initial panic my thoughts came back together and I used the SEARCH ENGINE :laugh: and found my old files scattered around. Not all still work though, any media I try to access tries to re-install windows media into the guest profile before it will play, and I do not know to what lengths I should mess with the guest profile.
So I do feel a little better knowing my files are at least safe, but everything is still messed up as far as the profile goes, so my call for help is still out there.
