All the data disappeared after the installation of updates! Help!

Hoping someone can help with this
Last night I installed updates KB961371, 973346 KB and KB 890830 for Vista Home Premium and they seemed to have been settled... my computer turns off fine. But when I started today and connected to my usual user, I got a pop-up message from the tool bar by saying "your user profile was not loaded correctly, you have been logged on with a temporary profile, cnanges do you will be lost when you log out." Check the log of the events for more information or contact your administrator." I then found that all my data was away from all my files (music, photos, Documents, analyses)... everything was gone. I then logged out of my user every day and in my admin to have a snoop around and all the data disappeared from there too. While in admin I also looked in the update section to see if the updates have not been installed correctly, but he said that they had been installed successfully.

I then rebooted, as I thought that it might help, but everything remained the same.

After the reboot, I clicked through 'my computer' and hard the news here on the disc wrote I have 89 GB of 147 GB free, which I think is consistent with the amount of data I have stored. This made me think that the data is always there somewhere, but I can't access it at all thanks to my user every day or my administrator.

As far as I can see, all the programs that I installed myself (such as Skype, open office software for my printer hp) are all present, but some of the shortcuts are out of the office. Also, when opening, they "behave" as newly installed programs. for example: Open Office writer guide me through a license agreement and registration rather than simply open a new document, and also firefox behaved in a way similar "new". Also, on commissioning today (after the installation of update yesterday), the window "welcome center" popped up, as did a window asking to save the "synaptics pointing device.

In short, the system "behaves like new", remembers none of my settings etc, but it is still a my programs installed and most of all, I can't access any of my data! I have a Toshiba Equium P200-178 (use vista Home premium service pack 1 32-bit), I use AVG anti virus (8.5) and Ad-aware software anti spyware. These are updated every day and I run scans on a regular basis (last analysis aware ad probably about a week ago) so I'm not sure it's associated virus.

Ask yourself what is this "temporary profile" and how to return to my old and my data! Help, please! Thanks :)

Difficulty of a corrupted user profile

After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

Good luck with it.

  • PC has not successfully restarted after the installation of updates

    Hello

    I have been updated with Windows Update and asked to restart my PC after the installation is complete, however, my computer froze just at that moment, so I had to press the power button to force it to close. So I don't a not properly restart but forced my PC to stop and I have not a screen saying "Configuring updates" as usual (because there is no restart appropriate but just a forced to close). When I turned on my PC back, I thought that all updates have been lost or screwed up because I don't restart the PC correctly, however, instead, windows said it was "Configuring updates" (from 0% to 30%) and 30%, he said he has been stop and then rebooted my machine and these updates have been 100% configured/installed.

    So my question is, were all 100% installed as said windows updates or was it just a fake reviews? Because I forced my PC to stop rather than restart it when all updates to complete the installation.

    In addition, argues that all updates have been installed successfully in the "Installed updates" menu, too. Please let me know if it of a false notice or not.

    Thank you

  • Cannot install Trend Micro 2012, receive error message: "your computer meets all the installation requirements, so Setup must stop."

    Original title: Problems installing Trend Micro 2012

    Tried to install Trend micro on my laptop, and towards the end of this way the message; "Your computer meets all the installation requirements, so the installer must stop." appeared. He then read "Windows update," I clicked on the link and also called microsoft who gave me the link updates from SP1 to SP2. I did (ran for almost 2 hours!) and recorded. I then checked the edition of windows under system and it has not saved the update even if it is registered and installed to my files. Tried to do the foregoing twice, still the same problem. Rang Dell and they sought to find an answer to the problem, but did everything they could. Still no answer to the problem after all. I have Windows Vista Home Basic as my operating system and installed Trend micro in the past with no problems. (Not sure if the following has nothing to do with it, but thought it might be useful a mention). I changed to Microsoft Office 2007, which has already been installed on my laptop for Office 2003, because I found it difficult from the laptop to the desktop and I didn't really want to pay for the upgrade of my office, if I didn't need it.

    Try restarting your phone. Sometimes it shows data that brought them "disappeared". To do this, hold down your power button for about 15 seconds, until you see BlackBerry on your screen. Do not release the button until you see that without taking account of any other thing you see before that.

    About a week ago I just bought windows mobile 8 is installed. Now for the last two days while turning on the laptop its gives me a message "your pc will restart in two days for the installation of updates.

    To stop, I get three option 1) sleep 2) arrested update 3) and close

    What should I do?

    Original title: windows update issue 8.

    Hi Parichay,

    The updates that are being invited to install are automatic updates.

    The message you get is offered by Windows 8 after that updates are downloaded and installed.

    If you do not restart your computer soon, Windows will force a restart of your computer two days after that it has installed new updates to complete their installation.

    You must restart your computer at a convenient time for you, rather than wait two days and have it suddenly reboot maybe at an inopportune time.

    Hope that solves your problem.

    Since the installation of update of Firefox today, 11/11/2011, when incoming secure web sites I no longer have the display of a padlock. I still have Https. I wonder if the security of these barns is still OK.

    The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with it from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.

    The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server.

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

  • PROBLEM WITH THE INSTALLATION OF UPDATES

    When the computer tells me to reboot to complete the installation of updates, I do.  It stops normally, but when he tries to restart, the screen goes completely dark.  I have to press the market / stop button for 4 seconds & it stops.  I wait a few minutes start computer & it starts normally & then it finish installing updates.  My question is what could cause the problem?  I learned recently by Microsoft (office of answers) that there is a big possibility that I corrupted the registry files.

On one of the computers - creative cloud shows notifications on apdates and I am able to install these. On the other computer, however, it is said that all the applications are updated. In individual applications - the menu updates option is grayed out.
