User profile cannot be loaded. - Vista Forums' (http://tinyurl.com/yt7off) Unfortunately the tutorial shows how to delete or rename an existing 'problem' profile, but does not offer a solution when there is no profile. In my situation, a Vista computer is within a domain. Two users had accounts on this computer and are able to log in and use it. Another user, an existing user in the domain but one who never used this particular machine, tried to log in. Vista accepted the credentials and appeared to be creating an account (what I mean here is that it took few minutes for it to respond upon accepting the user credentials) and then showed the dreaded message as described above. Upon logging in with one of the existing accounts with admin privileges, tried to look both in System Properties - User Profiles as well as into the Registry under the mentioned key, and there is neither Profile not SID in the Registry for this new user. So - there is nothing to delete. The server running Active Directory / DNS / DHCP etc. is accessible and everything else seem to be working while using one of the two existing accounts. Suggestions and comments welcome... in the other words, please help. Thanks. -- cvrcak Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

I just got a new Dell desktop. As i was setting everything up, the dialog box keeps reading the profile was not loaded correctly. Therefore any changes made will not be saved. So what i did was created another account. I could save my work on that account. But when i went online to download firefox, i had a blue screen pop up stating "windows is going to shut down to prevent data being damaged" and it restarted on its own. When i logged on again it reads windows just recovered from an unexpected shut down. How can i rectify this issue? -- connie.yuen |

Usually if your only administrator account is not able to be logged into such as this error, you should automatically boot into the built-in Administrator account in Safe Mode.

Shawn, The thing is, I *cannot* access the menu. At all. I cannot access the menu because I have ONE account. No guest. No nothing. Restart the computer and as it is starting up repeatedly tap the F8 key. This will get you to the correct menu to choose Safe Mode. Use your arrow key to select Safe Mode and hit the Enter key. This will take you to the Welcome Screen. If you see an icon for Administrator, click on it. The default password is a blank. If you can get into the system, go to Control PanelUser Accounts and make new user accounts, etc. If there is no Administrator icon on the Welcome Screen, since the only administrative account on the system has been corrupted and the built-in administrator account is disabled by default in Vista, you will need to use third-party software to enable the built-in Administrator account, log in, create an administrative user account for emergencies/elevations, a new Standard user account for yourself, and copy your data from your old corrupted account to the new one. I'll give you instructions to do all of this but they do require a certain level of computer skills. Only you know whether a better course of action for you will be to take the machine to a local computer technician. If you go this latter route, I don't recommend using a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place. ***** 1. In Vista, if you neglected to create an extra emergency user account that has administrative privileges (and now you see why doing this is A Good Thing), you will need to use NTpasswd to enable the built-in Administrator account (disabled by default) and set a null (blank) password. Enabling this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so you can then log on. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Download the CD image (.iso) and burn as an image, not as data. You will need third-party burning software. Then boot with the CD you created and follow the directions. After you've finished with NTpasswd, remove the CD and reboot the computer. Log into the Administrator account you enabled. 2. Once you have logged into the built-in Administrator account, go to Control PanelUser Accounts and create: a. An administrative user account - call it "CompAdmin" or "Tech" or the like. This account will only be used for emergencies and elevation. b. A Standard user account for your daily work. 3. Log out of the built-in Administrator account and into your new Standard user account so the profile folders/files are created. Do nothing else here right now. 4. Log out of your new Standard user account and log into CompAdmin. While in CompAdmin, disable the built-in Administrator account for security purposes: Start OrbSearch boxtype: cmd When cmd appears in Results above, right-click it and choose "Run as administrator" [OK]. Now you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt type: net user administrator /active:no [enter] Exit the command prompt. 5. Still in CompAdmin, copy the data from your old corrupted user account to your new Standard user account. OK any UAC prompts you receive while navigating the other user directories. 6. Log out of CompAdmin and into your new Standard User Account. After you are sure all your stuff is there, you can delete the corrupted user account from the User Accounts applet in Control Panel. ***** Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Hello Jiig, Usually when both of these options fail, your installation may be beyond repairing. If you have not already, you can try older restore point dates to see if one may work instead.

Other than the shut down option button and the Ease of access button and the laptop's name and password box the screen is completely blank? This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. Doing all this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best and whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place) is the better solution for you. 1. Log into another user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an extra administrative account do Steps 2-3. Otherwise continue at Step 4. Also see the general information about setting up user accounts in Vista at the end of this post. 2. Boot into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu where you can use your arrow key to select Safe Mode [enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it may be enabled. If it is, you will see an icon for Administrator on the Welcome Screen in Safe Mode. Log into Administrator. 3. If If you don't see the icon for the Administrator account in Safe Mode, then the built-in Administrator account is still disabled. You will need to use NTpasswd to enable the built-in Administrator account (disabled by default) and set a null (blank) password. Enabling this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so you can then log on. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Download the CD image (.iso) and burn as an image, not as data. You will need third-party burning software. Then boot with the CD you created and follow the directions. After you've finished with NTpasswd, remove the CD and reboot the computer. Log into the Administrator account you enabled. 4. The critical files are under %systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit elevated and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" from the menu. Now navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList There is one line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check: a) That the key name doesn't end in ".bak" (remove .bak if there) b) That the RefCount value is 0 (change it if different) c) That the State value is 0 (change if different) Make any necessary changes, close Regedit and try to log in as that user. 5. If that doesn't fix your profile, it is corrupted. At that point you can either make a new user account and copy your data to it or simply make a new user account and delete the old corrupted one. Do not delete the old account until you have retrieved data you need! Post back if you need help in creating a new user account and copying data to it. General information about setting up users in Vista - You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and all other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user operating system with built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, All Users, and Guest. These accounts should be left alone as they are part of the operating system structure. You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative privileges on Vista because the built-in Administrator account (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you're running as Administrator for your daily work and that account gets corrupted, things will be Difficult. It isn't impossible to activate the built-in Administrator to rescue things, but it will require third-party tools and working outside the operating system. The user account that is for your daily work should be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like "CompAdmin" or "Tech" or the like) only there for elevation purposes. After you create "CompAdmin", log into it and change your regular user account to Standard. Then log back into your regular account. If you want to go directly to the Desktop and skip the Welcome Screen with the icons of user accounts, you can do this: Start OrbSearch boxtype: netplwiz [enter] Click on Continue (or supply an administrator's password) when prompted by UAC Uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to automatically log on by clicking on the desired account to highlight it and then hit OK. Enter the correct password for that user account (if there is one) when prompted. Leave it blank if there is no password (null). Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Then log into that account and make your daily accounts Standard from the Users applet in Control Panel. Also, don't forget to back up regularly.

Do not delete the old account until you have retrieved data you need! Post back if you need help in creating a new user account and copying data to it. General recommendations for setting up users in Vista: You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and all other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user operating system with built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, All Users, and Guest. These accounts should be left alone as they are part of the operating system structure. You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative privileges on Vista because the built-in Administrator account (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you're running as Administrator for your daily work and that account gets corrupted, things will be Difficult. It isn't impossible to activate the built-in Administrator to rescue things, but it will require third-party tools and working outside the operating system. The user account that is for your daily work should be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like "CompAdmin" or "Tech" or the like) only there for elevation purposes. After you create "CompAdmin", log into it and change your regular user account to Standard. Then log back into your regular account. If you want to go directly to the Desktop and skip the Welcome Screen with the icons of user accounts, you can do this: Start OrbSearch boxtype: netplwiz [enter] Click on Continue (or supply an administrator's password) when prompted by UAC Uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to automatically log on by clicking on the desired account to highlight it and then hit OK. Enter the correct password for that user account (if there is one) when prompted. Leave it blank if there is no password (null). Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |
The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded
sgbandpv wrote: Any suggestion how to get access to my computer? Will only show User profile service message or a logon key that leads to the same message. F8 doesn't work and there is no START key to get access. Help! This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. Doing all this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself best and whether taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place) is the better solution for you. 1. Log into another user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an extra administrative account do Steps 2-3. Otherwise continue at Step 4. Also see the general information about setting up user accounts in Vista at the end of this post. 2. Boot into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu where you can use your arrow key to select Safe Mode [enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it may be enabled. If it is, you will see an icon for Administrator on the Welcome Screen in Safe Mode. Log into Administrator. 3. If If you don't see the icon for the Administrator account in Safe Mode, then the built-in Administrator account is still disabled and you'll need to do some more work. a. If you have a Vista installation DVD (not a recovery DVD) you can boot the system with it. Select the default language, then choose "Repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt type: net user administrator /active:yes [enter] If you don't have a Vista installation DVD you can either make a bootable Vista Repair DVD from the file at this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/window...disc-download/ b. Or you can use NTpassword to enable the built-in Administrator. In both cases you will need third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio, or the free ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) to burn the .iso as an image, not as data. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Now remove the rescue CD/DVD you made, reboot the system into Windows, and log into the built-in Administrator account you enabled. 4. Try a System Restore to when things were working. If you can log into your own user account, you're finished. Otherwise continue at Step 5. 5. The critical files are under %systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" from the menu. Now navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList There is one line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check: a) That the key name doesn't end in ".bak" (remove .bak if there) b) That the RefCount value is 0 (change it if different) c) That the State value is 0 (change if different) Make any necessary changes, close Regedit and try to log in as that user. 6. If that doesn't fix your profile, it is corrupted. At that point you can either make a new user account and copy your data to it or simply make a new user account and delete the old corrupted one.
