Cannot cross to a login screen - Vista Home Premium

When I try to log on as an administrator, I get "user profile Service service has no logon.  User profile cannot be loaded. "Any ideas to fix this?  Thanks for your help :)

Restore point:

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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.

  • Cannot access the calendar from Windows Vista Home Premium all of a sudden... get error message indicating it is disabled... Help, please!

    After 1 year with the help of Windows Calendar on Vista Home Premium, I'm suddenly not able to use it (impossible to add new appointments and stored all appointments have mysteriously disappeared). I get a message saying "You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled" the details of State "access denied." ... How is - it happened 'out of nowhere '? How to activate it? It's very frustrating... I searched the forums and Microsoft google the question. I found some results suggesting to either change the registry or download the fix automatically and manually merge in my registry. I tried both with no result. I have event tried to remove the old calendar and create a new one... still nothing. Any suggestions? Help, please!

    Hello NYintelligentinvestor,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that.  What type of entry you are trying to add?

    Look at the calendar and on the left side, to half way down you will see a small block that will have something like "NYintelligentivnestor schedule" - there is a small block to the left of this one. To activate the calendar, click on the box to place a check mark in it.

    If there are calendar shown in this block, then go to "file" on the main toolbar and click on "new calendar" - one should then appears in a block with a check mark in the box on the left.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

  • Cannot access my IOGEAR BOSS with Vista home premium

    I have problems to access the directories on my external device with my new PC, and I hope you can help me.

    I just replaced my old HP Desktop running XP OS with a new DELL desktop which is under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and now I can't access the device of utility of IOGEAR BOSS. I was able to access the external device with it and can be accessed with 2 other PC at home now. Can't seem to connect to the external device with this new system.

    What I can do:
    I am directly connected the BOSS and can access the internet via the BOSS. I also see the external device in my network. I can ping, tracert it. That's where! Just can't log in there!

    What I can't do
    Map a drive to the external device or authenticate in the unit. (When I try to access it, it prompts me for the ID/PW as it should, but he does not like the ID/PW I provided). I know that the PW & ID works calibrated it works on 2 other PC's connected on it.

    Steps to access the external device
    I am trying to access by taking the following measures:
    1 map a network drive
    2 assign the letter Z
    3 path: \\192.168.2.1\share
    4 pushes. me for ID & PW - admin\ *.
    5 ERROR Message: Logon FAILURE - NOTES: now shows the ID: Desktop\admin

    What I've done
    1 Contcted IOGEAR - checked all the settings of security, network and pwermission and reset the permissions of the external device to the original state. Did not work. They sent me to Ms & Dell.
    2. contacted Dell - did the same exact steps. They sent me Ms.

    Can anyone help?

    According to the site Web of IOGEAR (http://www.iogear.com/product/GNS1000/) it is only compatible with Windows® 98SE, 2000, ME, XP.  So so looking for a compatibility issue.  The update of the firmware is from March 2006, you might want to update the Firmware and see if that helps, but with compatibility issues, it's a scenario 'best effort '.

    Below you will find the IOGEAR support page, I hope that helps solve your problem.

  • Cannot restore file bkf NAS to Vista Home Premium disk XP

    I have a HP Pavilion a6220n PC desk top running Vista Edition Windows Home Premium.  Exploitation is corrupt is a couple of weeks, and I haven't had a recent backup of the C drive.  (I know...)  In any case, I could take the Vista machine's hard drive and connect it as a second hard drive on my XP machine.  Then, I was able to make a file bkf HD Vista on my 1 TB MyBookLive NAS drive.  Then I put the HD Vista on the Vista PC.  And I was able to run the recovery partition recovery procedure.  Of course, he wiped the C drive but Vista works again like factory.

    So now, I need to restore the file the MyBookLive drive on the Vista machine bkf.  I thought it would be easy.  I discovered that the restoration of Vista does not recognize the bkf file types.  But the Vista restore utility had a link explaining that I could download a backup NT and restore and it would be able to restore a bkf file type in a Vista machine.  So I downloaded the NT utility.  But when I ran, the NT utility doesn't seem to be able to find the MyBookLive disk.  It does not seem to have all the options restore from a network drive.

    So my next bright idea was to buy a Toshiba 1 TB USB HD.  I figured I'd just copy the NAS MyBookLive to the Toshiba HD bkf.  I tried on the XP machine, and I got an error that says I don't have enough disk space.  I guess this means that the C XP disk doesn't have enough free space, because the MyBookLive and Toshiba HD have enough free space.  Moreover, the bkf file is LARGE (355GB).

    OK, so I decide to use the Vista machine to copy the bkf file.  I can map to the NAS MyBookLive and see the bkf file.  And the Toshiba HD is automatically recognized by Vista.  The C-drive Vista has 327 GB free.  And again, I got the same error - not enough disk space.

    I started to compress the bkf file in a file of rar on MyBookLive, using the XP utility.  Original estimate was 66 hours remaining.  I decided to give up this idea because I don't know if it will even work and wouldn't wait for 66 hours to find out.  My hope was that if the compressed file was smaller, so I could copy the compressed on the Toshiba HD.

    So here I sit with a disk network MyBookLive bkf file.  And I need to restore this information on the Vista machine.  If anyone knows how to restore directly from the network drive MyBookLive to the Vista, which would be preferable.  Next ideal if anyone knows how to copy a file, bkf 355GB since the network MyBookLive on the Toshiba USB HD drive, then I might be able to restore from the Toshiba USB HD on the Vista machine.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    GEEK SQUAD came to the rescue. Agent Hugo Westminster, CO Best Buy suggested I get the error "insufficient disk space" because USB Toshiba HARD drive is formatted in "FAT32" format of file at the factory.  He recommended fitness to "NTFS".  I did and was able to copy the large bkf file (it took about 12 hours).

    I have now connected USB Toshiba HARD drive into the Vista machine.  And "NT Backup and Restore" was able to recognize it.  It is now trying to restore the backup of the files on the desktop to Vista PC.  I'll know in a few hours if the restore was successful.

    The restore operation did turn out to be successful.

  • Cannot run Canon MP Navigator on Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

    Hello

    Would appreciate if someone could come up with a solution to this. Have had my Canon MP560 multiprinter for a year - never had a problem with printing or scanning. However, today when I tried to scan the printer it did not work. For scanning to occur with the buttons on the printer MP navigator must open - where the problem. (I am able to scan via windows live photo gallery).

    I also can't open MP navigator in stand alone function. I've deleted and reinstalled with the latest drivers from the website of canon (according to canon tech advice), but no change. I tried to run as an administrator - but nothing works. By opening the location by clicking on mpnex30.exe file does nothing.

    Is there a way to get this exe file to work - and why it suddenly stopped working or something stopping to go to the top?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can offer on this subject!

    Hi thanks.

    Had nothing to do with the profiles or user accounts. Technical support level 2 Canon has managed to help me sort out them. Another program in the TWAIN_32 folder has been intefering with the Canon file at this location. I just had to remove the offending file from there and hop right!

    I guess you guys at MS should he noted down in case anyone has the same problem as me!

    All the best,

  • Vista Home Premium, black screen after my login and my password entry

    Hi all

    A month ago I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 comes pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. Like many others I am now a problem with a "black screen" that hang up the machine after my login and my password. "

    When I start the machine it seems to load normally I do it at the login screen, I select my account (admin) and enter my password. The windows logo appears, and then a status bar starts indicating that the OS is laoding. Shortly after that I get a black screen on (which means that the display is on but list black). I tried to start safe mode, but I get the black screen it so.

    Like others the machine was working great until this point. I was using AVG Free edition and I am always very careful on viruses.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

  • KB2296011 causes the blank screen in Windows Vista Home Premium?

    I'm troubleshooting an issue with an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop. After Tuesday October 12 updates, the laptop goes to a blue screen after authentication with any account. There is a mobile cursor mouse, but nothing else. C/a. gives the menu, but "Start Task Manager" has no effect, restart will only work.

    I am able to login normally mode without failure. Remove the update KB2296011 removes the problem, I narrowed down it to only this update. It is now necessary to restart and use system restore to go back before this particular update to access Windows.

    I did the following to troubleshoot:

    (1) I tried to install the system update tool, which had no effect.

    (2) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually after downloading, the problem returns after installing.

    (3) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually mode without failure by another post here, but this is not possible, which gives the following error: "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c.»  This service cannot be started in Mode safe. »

    It seems up to present have no way to obtain this update to install without the origin of the white screen issue. Please advice, thank you.

    OK, it looks like at this will be my last post.

    This technician seems to address the issue much differently from the rest. After the things we have done in my previous post, he seems convinced that the problem occurs when this security update is installed, it thinks it's UAC which is damaged, and possibly other files. If its resolution suggested the problem is to run a repair on Vista installation, in order to repair potentially damaged or corrupted files. This would correspond well with hijackware theory posted earlier, too.

    It seems door by another symptom not reported to me or noticed until now. With or without UAC enabled, standard users cannot connect. It passes the connection, in the preparation of your office for a disconnection. Administrative users can connect very well. As the primary user of the machine is an administrator (of course!), this was not noticed until I created a Standard user to test and found this problem.

    I hope than a repair installation (or even better, an upgrade, as I prefer to simply wipe the HD and start over) will solve the problem. The machine has 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz dual core chip, so I think it can handle very well (my wife does mobile) Win7.

    I hope that all of this novel, we have written here will help others as well.

  • Blue Screen at shutdown - STOP: 0x0000 008F (Vista Home Premium 32-bit)

    Whenever I stop, I get a blue screen of death.  I had not used my computer for a few months, so I do not remember if the hardware or software has been added.

    I put the BSOD to stop so I could write the codes - I googled them came but with nothing.

    Here is what says the BSOD:
    STOP: 0x0000 008F (0 x 0005 C000, 0 x C4E3, 0 x AC2E DC0C, 0 x 0000 0000 8261)

    My system runs Vista Home Premium (32 bit) on a bridge 5442 with 4 GB of Ram and an Intel Core 2 CPU 4400 running 2.00 Ghz

    Any help or advice is most appreciated.

    Hello

    Two main causes of this blue screen video drivers and BIOS - check with system manufacturer site for
    View of the adapter (video) and BIOS, then on site of the manufacturer of the device for the last video. There may be other drivers
    in order to check there. DISABLE the auto-pilot plant as those who are older and if updates Windows suggests
    a pilot just HIDE. Antivirus is another possibility.

    See methods of update driver generic in the next message.

    BCCode: 8th 0x0000008E is the same as 0x1000008E

    Cause

    Bug KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control is a very common bug control. To interpret it, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates that a memory access violation has occurred.

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques:

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the address of the exception) should identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Ensure that all new equipment installed is listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A chauffeur service or defective peripheral system could be responsible for this error. The hardware problems, such as BIOS incompatibilities, conflicts of memory and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If the verification of the message bug list a driver by name, disable or remove that driver. In addition, disable or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third-party remote control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the system startup service using the recovery and then Console by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device or driver responsible for control of bug 0x1E. You can disable the cache in memory of the BIOS to try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or after installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and the system BIOS incompatibilities. For any problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with lack of disk space, reduce the number of files on the hard disk drive target. Search and delete temporary files that you do not have to have, files hidden Internet, application backup files and files saved .chk , which contain fragments of files on disk scans. You can also use an another hard disk drive with more free space for the installation.

    You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS

    =============================================

    Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.

    MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.

    As examples:

  • Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

    This may be long but im giving information as possible.

    I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

    In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

    Reset my router
    Reformat my computer
    Reset my xbox 360
    Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
    Disabled windows firewall
    Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
    went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
    Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
    UPnp enabled in my router settings
    Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
    Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
    Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

    Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

    One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

    Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

    Network equipment:
    Router Linksys WRT54G
    Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

    works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.

  • Windows cannot find any networks, but Ubuntu can! (X 32 Vista Home Premium)

    I recently replaced a faulty laptop computer mother board with an identical model (only difference is a newer version of the BIOS). After restarting Windows (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) I can't find the networks wireless where I can see usually eight networks at least an unsecured connection, but now I get nothing.

    I replaced the wireless card Atheros with an Intel Pro 3945ABG driver and installed the latest version and that I still get the same error "Windows cannot find any networks", I can get access to the internet via an Ethernet cable but I am unable to connect wirelessly. If I try to manually configure the wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred".

    I started the system from a CD of Ubuntu to check that it was not a hardware problem. Wireless card perfectly, sees all the networks, connects and works very well.

    It seems that something inside Vista has failed since even change the wireless adapter for a different manufacturer and the results of the modeling in the same error, pointers?

    Kind regards

    Jason.

    SOLVED

    It turns out that Kaspersky Internet Security is at fault and he was very happy to work via ethernet it had mutilated all WLAN connections.

    Removal of Kaspersky and all of a sudden all the wireless networks have re-emerged.

    Kind regards
    Jason.

    Referring to 956702 KB notes that the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=167357 link that needs 32-bit is 64-bit.  In addition, it specifies SP2 - which obviously I do not have.  But I manually downloaded the apparently correct tool and ran it - get does not apply.

  • Vista Home Premium boots with black bands on the sides of the screen and features limited after d/l-ing Windows updates

    Hello

    My Dell Inspiron 530 has recently started having problems starting. When I turn it on regularly, Windows Vista Home Premium starts with black bands on each side of the screen and your desktop extended / enlarged which does not display the start menu or the taskbar. I can navigate in the Panel, but when I click on the resolution of the screen, nothing happens and I'm unable to change the screen resolution. When I use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel, I can reduce the size of the desktop icon, but the taskbar, nor start menu appears on the screen. I noticed that I can't start programs when the computer is in this State as well.

    I think that this problem started after I downloaded a game from 3 updates of Windows, but I do not know what updates they were.

    I am able to start safe mode and the office fills the screen normally. I don't know what steps I can take mode without fail to solve the problem of normal startup, however.

    Please let me know I you a glimpse into this situation because it is extremely frustrating. Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

    "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72491-Windows-Update.html

     

    Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

    "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

    See you soon.
