I know this issue has been addressed before by JB at http://www.jimmah.com/vista/Administration/locked_out_of_admin.aspx What makes my situation unusual is that my dell laptop was shipped with vista enterprise, but the operating system cd that was shipped was vista home basic. The reason for this is that I purchased through my daughter's college. I'm still trying to figure out if the college...

They try to login, and once they enter their password, a message comes that says that the user profile failed to load. It then logs the user off. In order to salvage the accounts and files, I had to login as myself and copy and paste the files over to new accounts. No actual data is lost. Is this a common...

Before you search for recovery CD or Windows DVD to format and reinstall Windows...
