Re: user account cannot log-profile not loaded

Not if there is NO C:\Documents and Settings\Guest folder and no record in
the registry for the Guest 501 SID.
When doing a Copy, you need the ntuser.dat file and subsequent support
folders under C:\Documents and Settings\Guest.

I thought I may have missed that, but I've just read through the entire
correspondence that is still visible here and I can't find where Jerry
says
there's no guest account... In fact, he says: "This did not solve the
problem. I can turn the guest account off, but do not know how to delete
the
guest account." Clearly this implies that there IS a guest account??

If the new account works, you can then duplicate your Guest account
profile
(which would include your My Documents, Favorites, Start Menu and other
folders) onto the new account.

Jerry stated that there is no Guest account to Copy from. No
C:\Documents
and Settings\Guest\....
And the Registry ProfileList does not reflect the Guest SID.

Hi Jerry

From your post, I gather you only have the Administrator and Guest
accounts... I agree with "NewScience" - the profile may have become
corrupt. However, deleting the account doesn't delete the profile...

You say you created a new account with admin rights, but it didn't
solve
your problem - could you be more specific? Do you mean that you got
the
same error message when logging on using the newly created account? Or
was
that successful, but the Guest account still didn't work?

If the new account works, you can then duplicate your Guest account
profile
(which would include your My Documents, Favorites, Start Menu and other
folders) onto the new account. Right-click My Computer, click User
Profiles, select the Guest account profile and click Copy To... You
can
then browse to the C:\Documents and Settings folder and select the new
user
account name. Otherwise, you can manually copy My Documents,
Favorites,
etc.

What fodlers show up under:

C:\Documents and Settings (other than your username)?

Do you have a Default User? Administrator? LocalService?
NetworkService?

Do you have a C:\Windows\System32\Config\systemprofile folder?

Make sure that you have turned on Show Hidden and System folders in
Folder
Options | View.
Make sure you have turned off Hide protected operating system files.

Thanks for your help. I created a new account and made it an
administrator
one. This did not solve the problem. I can turn the guest account
off,
but
do
not know how to delete the guest account.

When I try to log on to admin account I'm succesful. When I try
to
log
on to
guest account I get the following message:
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded.
Check
that
you are connected to the network, or that your network is
functioning
correctly. If this problem persists contact your network
administrator.

I use Windows xp home edition. I am not on a network.

Try to log on as administrator and change the guest account into an
"administrator" one. Then change it back into a limited account.

If that doesn't work, you can try deleting the guest account and
create
a
new one. It may have become corrupt.
