Windows cannot load the locally stored profile

Try the following per this KB.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812339
Also, note, that link above is for XP. But it certainly looks like a profile problem. Here's how to create a new. Just create a new profile and delete the old one after the documents have been moved to the course.
1 / click on the Start button
2 / on the start menu, click the control panel option
3 / in the Control Panel, click the user account
4 / the user account window is now open
5 / in the list of options "Make changes to your account", click on manage another account
6 / user Account Control will now kick and ask permission to keep you. If you are the administrator, then simply click on the button continue. If you are not the administrator, then you need to get the administrator, the user name and password before you can continue.
7 / him choose the account you want to change the window will now open.
8 / click on create a new account
9 / the window "account name and choose an account type" open now
10 / type the name of the new account in the name dialog box.
11 / now select the Type of account you are interested in. You have two choice, Standard or administrator.
- Standard - standard accounts allow the user to use most of the software installed on your computer and also to change the settings of the system that are not related to other users or is security settings.
- Administrator - the administrator has complete control over the computer and can make changes they wish to
12 / once you have selected the type of account you want to create, click on the button create account

Hello Dixon7,
You can also do a simple check to confirm or not the temporary profiles are created.
- First check in C:\Users for all profiles not created by your customer.
- Then check Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > user profile > settings.
- This will display a list of current profiles on the system.
Also, take a look on Microsoft for the Windows Vista KB Article, to see if it applies to your case: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215.
Overall, the underlying issue is simply corruption profiles of Hordie recommendation to create a new profile if the best. You could then just migrate the older user profile data to the new.

This looks like a corrupted profile. Assuming that you can connect with a user with administrator privileges, do one of the following procedures to restore your profile in the shape. If you are unable to connect, try to connect by using the built-in Administrator account (Ctrl-Alt-Delete struck twice on the login screen, enter the user: administrator, leave blank password unless you have changed at some point)

This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
I have a permanent error on my computer and when I run the troubleshooter I get the above message. It says Windows cannot load the driver.
Hello
USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
Restart the computer to see if it clears.2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.
3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
online documentation and drivers, diagnostics and ask questions in their forums on all known
questions. Update the Bios and chipset or other USB drivers.=====================================
If necessary, we will use these additional troubleshooting methods:

Help, please! Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device) because the driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Hello
Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.
Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it

Windows cannot load the drivers for the network device, Code 31
A few days ago, my computer was working very slow... I turned off twice and he turned his back. The letters on the screen were enormous when windows restarts. I turned off and did a diagnostic system before windows starts and everything was fine. The computer is restarted my network cards were missing. I get the error: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers for this device. (CODE 31). (Module Aetheros 802.11 a/b/g/n dualband wireless network and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller).
I have downloaded device drivers (windows could not find them on my system) using a laptop and copied computer on a disc. I tried to install and I got an error message indicating that windows has failed. I did a system restore to a point a few days before I started having problems. Windows cannot successfully go back to the restore point. I spoke with a technology computer and HP tech. HP technology seems to think that windows is damaged and I need to remove and reinstall it on my computer. I spoke with computer technology in my area, and he seems to think that my hard drive has failed, however I can still run photoshop and backup my system.
Does anyone have any ideas before I m computer local tech. 3 year warranty just expired February 1, 2011. Don't you know.
