Vista - User Profile was not loaded correctly
Something that worked for me without deleting the profile. 1. Run chkdsk /r 2. Login to an admin account that works properly 3. Go to c:\users and delete all the temporary users 4. Restart 5. Login to your profile Good luck! |

Vista - User Profile was not loaded correctly
I'm in desperate need of help. I've been trying to work on this for days and have just recently starting getting somewhere thanks to this thread. I inherited a 2nd hand laptop from my Mother's work. I erased ex-user's name and I added a User profile under my name as Administrator. However, Firefox starts giving me an error message about profile folder directory. I managed to resolve that. Once I resolved said problem above I started getting the "User Profile Not Loading Properly" error message. I solved that, thanks to the steps on this thread. So it seems that all is good, however, my wifi connection started saying that I am connected to my wireless router but the connectivity is limited. I'm unable to disconnect and reconnect even when I've gone closer to the router. So I've got to restart. When that happens and I'm downloading something using bittorrent any downloading work in progress and even previously completed downloads disappear! So I'm thinking that the whole "User Profile Not Loading Properly" isn't completely fixed, after all if it is shouldn't it be saving previous work? Prior to this problem Bittorrent would automatically recommence where it stopped downloading, but now whilst it has stopped asking me to install Bittorrent at each restart it's still not saving what I'm downloading. I've followed the steps on this thread and the have gone to the Registry and deleted all user names but the two I left there which is mine and my Hubby's name. Hubby's being Administrator and we are going to just use the Standard one. And there are three others named "system profile", "system" and something else. I didn't think I should erase those. Any advise would be much appreciated. -- Angelz |

On a laptop, this usually means restoring to factory condition. Since this is a laptop, it may have a restore image on a partition. If there were physical recovery disks, you should have received a set. If you didn't, contact the laptop mftr.'s tech support and order a set. This is usually very inexpensive.

As to where Bit Torrent downloads, you can control that and it's not downloading to a black whole, it's probably downloading to C:\downloads as a default. It's saving what you download--you aren't looking where it's saving to. If you go to Bit Torrent's toolbar OptionsPreferences you have two boxes to type in where you want the downloads to end up: Move downloads to Move completed downloads to Once you've made and chosen a download folder or chosen a download location you already use, and put it in those two boxes, that's where they'll go. You could make a folder on your data drive or on your C:\drive and call it "downloads" or "bit torrent downloads" or "Angelz" downloads and type that in the box. Those other profiles are standard default profiles for Vista. They don't have anything to do with where your torrent downloads are being placed.
