Profile of user ultimate Vista - lost

This problem happened to me twice before and each time I have taken the way of ease and format C: and reinstalled from scratch. I tried the system recovery, but the old version ONLY displayed was for today. There must be a better way.

Ideally, I would like to recover the loss profile NOT to create a new.

Events Time table oif:

1) connect as an administrator and Windows backup utility used to make my weekly incremental backup.

(2) logged on administrator and logged as a user.

(3) a new desltop displayed and all my desktop icons disappeared except the Recycle Bin.

(4) checked the user profile and found he had today.

(5) checked the user (name) in Windows Explorer and the folders found as desktop, Documents etc. etc. disappeared. It was a new user ID. The old ID (eponymous) disappeared with all of its associated files.

Rather than rebuild from scratch, what files of my backups weekly I have to copy the C: drive to recover my old user profile?

If this cannot be done, what files should I copy my weekly backups to the NEW user profile for my office is back to normal with all the icons I used every day on this topic.

Thank you.

Thanks Lorien.

I did exactly as you suggested in your first sentence. Unforunately, the obtained profile saved had already been corrupted. So the only answer at this point is to recreate the 'new' profile for as close to the former.

It is a recurring problem I've experienced with all OS from XP. For no reason that I can find, corrupts or removes a profile from the BONE and I was never able to recover from it by restoring a backup of Microsoft.

As I said in my first post, I just it sucked upward and did a format/reinstall because I felt after that profile has been lost or corrupted and retrieve could not restore, I felt the whole OS is now corrupt and had more faith that further damage will not happen.

I don't have the time or money to send dumps to Microsoft to see if he can understand what happened then I'll use a 3rd party backup program (I can't no more trust to Microsofts) do a 'full' backup of the disc and then the ole format/reinstall using Windows 7. I don't trust Vista more now either.

  • Profile of user not loaded correctly, you have been connected with a temporary profile. How can I fix it?

    I use a Toshiba Satellite with windows vista. My father gave it to me, but instead of creating a new user account, I have renamed the original administrator account. two years later, I have 3 accounts on the laptop, which only the original is still the sole Director and has access to all partitions on the hard drive as well.

    A week ago, my computer laptop power had reported issues so I immediately sent for repair. I came home today and the Standard 2 user accounts work perfectly. However when I connect to my original administrator account I get this pop - up message:

    "The user profile was not loaded correctly. You have been logged on with a temporary profile. Changes to this profile will be lost when you log out. Check the log of the events for more information or contact your administrator "

    I lost all my profile settings, including internet bookmarks, music playlists, etc. The office looks like a brand new installation of Vista and all the customization disappeared. I can't afford to lose all data. It is seriously important and was on my desk and in my documents.

    How can I get my profile without losing any data?

    Hi Salman91,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Windows Vista Community.   New profile created, try browsing to the old profile (C:\users\username).  You should see all the old user data.  If this does not work, try to copy the files in Safe Mode.

    Please let us know if that helps.

    Hello

    These methods should help for Windows 7 or Vista.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. THE ADMIN
    Safe Mode account has no default password (so unless someone changed
    the password should be available).

    Some programs such as the Google Updater (if you've added the Google toolbar,
    Chrome or Google Earth) has been known to cause this problem.

    Hello

    The problem is probably damaged the ADMIN account, you were when you created the user account.

    Log on as an ADMINISTRATOR or use the HAA below and REMOVE the user account that you created. Then move forward
    as if your ADMIN account (the one you used to make this account user) has been corrupted. Once you are sure
    It is OK then DISABLE the HAA - login to your ADMIN account and make a different for USER account
    see if everything is OK.

    Try these to erase corruption and missing/damaged file system repair or replacement.

    Then do-, use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times. Do the
    same for other accounts that may be difficult. Then if necessary you can also reset your password
    in the accounts. Do not forget to leave your Admin account and the other to the desired level.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost. So far, that's what I did, I used \\server1\share \\server2\share/sec /mir robocopy and robocopy \\server1\share \\serve2\share/e/s /copyall. It seams like they copied all files with the permissions of the user for the files, but not files. For example, if a user makes a folder with the files in the folder appear them have permissions appropriate for them but not the root folder or subfolders, they did...

  • Profile 'Admin' user lost, no password, how to recover?

    Hello. For the first time in 3 years, I found myself cursing my PC Windows Vista Home Premium.
    It is not let me on the admin account, even to set the clock!

    Every now and then, an update of Windows appears in the trash BIOS, and on the PC startup settings, BIOS rely you and complains that the checksum is invalid. Until today there has never been a problem; I just have to reset the date and time and all is well.

    Today, I got the bleating BIOS, started in Windows and connected with my normal user account.
    When I tried to change the settings of the clock, Windows asked my admin password, but then told me that I didn't have permission to change the clock.

    I disconnected my user account and tried to log in as an administrator. He refused, saying that the user profile service failed to load the profile. There is absolutely no way I'm getting the wrong password, so my guess is that something trashed profile admin for me.

    I was able to run rstrui.exe and restored to the oldest restore point that I could find (April 14, about 3 weeks ago). When it prompted me for my admin password, there is no problem. However after restoring I still cannot connect as an administrator; It gives the same error to be unable to load the profile.

    Then, what on earth can I do to recover the admin profile?

    Out of curiosity I tried to use the file browser to go to c:\users\admin, but he asked my admin password then impossible to open the file (it gives no error either).

    Any help would be welcome!

    It seems that your profile has become corrupted and Windows created this new one for you.

    And your Favorites
