• The user profile service has no log on. User profile cannot be loaded

  Windows 7.  I get the message user profile service failed the log on.  User profile cannot be loaded.  I followed the instructions on the link, but it seems not to have worked.  This is the administrator account that gives me the penalty.  Only, I could get by using safe mode.  Help, please! This is a brand new with Windows 7 pre loaded, computer I did hardly anything on this computer to give me a problem like that.

  Thank you!

  Since this is a brand new computer, it would be proactive to test at least the hard disk and RAM to make sure they are good. Fleecy material can cause this problem. Just because the computer is new does not mean that the material cannot fail. Indeed, if the material is going to fail, it will usually do fairly quickly or go for years. If any material is bad, assert your warranty immediately. If the material is good, it would also be advisable to ensure that the computer is free of viruses/malware because the infection can also cause the problem.

  Otherwise, this error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  1 log on to a different user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an account additional administrative steps 2-3. Otherwise, continue to step 4. See also General information on setting up the accounts of users at the end of this post.

  2 in Mode safe boot. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Windows 7. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more. If you have a Windows 7 DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  If you do not have an installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows 7 (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode.  Or you can make a bootable DVD of Windows 7 repair of the file on this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2009/Windows-7-system-repair-discs/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. If you create the bootable DVD in an older operating system, you need third-party burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data. Windows 7 can burn the .isos natively.

  Now, remove the rescue DVD you made, restart windows system and log into the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  4. try a system restore to when things worked. If you can log in to your user account, you are finished. Otherwise, continue to step 5.

  5. the critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

  (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
  (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
  (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

  Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

  6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. When you do that, you should make a new Standard user account and copy your data to it. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need!

  Once everything works, go to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click 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.

  General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges in Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it can be more work you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• When I try to open firefox, it says "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. » ?

  The reason why I deleted my firefox profile on my MAC and uninstalled firefox is because it was not appearing in the application menu or the dock and I have found whenever I wanted to use it. I couldn't put it on the dock or anything like that.
  When I downloaded again and tried to start it, there was the error message, "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "And now I can't use it at all.

  You must remove the file profiles.ini so because Firefox registers all the profiles you see in the Profile Manager in this file and delete the file on disk, Firefox will display this error message.

  Otherwise, you will need to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.

• Error message: unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible

  I know that others have had this problem but none of the validated answers turned out to be viable. When I try to start Firefox, the browser does not open and I see the following message appears: "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I am running Windows 8.1.

  It's what happened leading up to this problem. I was passing through normally when I received a pop up message that says a threat has been detected, and Mozilla had a security patch that I have to download. This is the expedition of phishing malware believer, I closed the browser and restart the computer without having to download anything. When I restarted the computer, everything was normal and I googled for information on what had just happened, to see if I really needed a security patch. A forum suggested that I already have a virus/malware that caused the popup, and that I should deal with the possibility that updating Firefox. Then I refreshed Firefox, which seemed harmless enough. The update took the time, so I finally closed the window to refresh. Maybe I should let the window update but it was taken way too long - after that it's my problem to start with the error message.

  Since then, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I also deleted the profile folder in the hope that it would force the creation of a new folder. Nothing has worked. Someone has suggestions for Firefox run again?

  You must locate the profiles.ini file and delete this file or use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/how-run-Firefox-when-profile-missing-inaccessible

  This problem may be caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file or with the permissions (owner) of the concerned files.

  You can use one of them to retrieve an existing profile or create a new default profile for Firefox:

  • Remove the profiles.ini file to make Firefox create a new profile (default)
  • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    If you have an existing profile, then click on "Choose a folder" in the Profile Manager and navigate to the location of a profile lost to recover this profile
    https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/managing+profiles

  You should find the file profiles.ini in this hidden place:

  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    * C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.
  • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/

  If the file profiles.ini compensation does not work then also check the location of the cache files.

  • Windows: * C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/
  • Linux:~/.cache/Mozilla/Firefox/
