Max,
You are the 1st person to reply to me. I never found an adequate solution. I
wound up just setting up a new user and lost all the info for that original
user. Fortunately that wasn't much as I had just gotten the computer. The
problem has not occurred again.

Thanks for replying, thats what I intend to do as well. Actually, if you
didnt know, you can still retrieve all your files from the old profile by
going to: start - computer - hard drive - users -old account - etc.. But
still, this is a major glitch in windows, which for some reason hasnt gotten
much attention.

I've had the same issue for the past few weeks. I've done some searching & it seems this problem occurs often so there HAS to be some way of fixing i w/out starting a new profile. I have over 400 songs on itunes & MANY pics I'd like to retrieve. I have a 4mo old Dell PC & I cannot logon to my administrator profile. I really wish I'd gone w/XP. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

hi

I have the same trouble.
We join a vista pro to a new 2003 domain.
When we copy the profile from the old local profile to the new domain
profile the first time the copy crashe !!! (:
Then we reboot and we are unable to logon normally with the old local
profile or the new domain profile.
When we explore c:\users\oldlocalprofile the folder is empty with 0 bytes (:
!!!
The new one is the same.
Vista always want to logon with a temporary profile.
We lost the old profile with much data.

Any help much apprecied please...

Hi everyone,

Try the solution here for this problem. Only you will see "BAK"
instead of "BAD" in the instructions given.
