    PLEASE try to Help!!
    I have never seen a problem like this. I am at my wits end as to how to
    fix it.

    Heres a little history:
    Problems started back in the middle of Sept (1 1/2 months ago). I
    logged several hrs, over 3 days, over the phone w/ Microsoft Tech
    support. Unfortunately, were unable to pin point the problem. They said
    it was probably a conbination of spyware and viruses.

    Here are some of the issues acurring:
    I have 2 accts. Mine, (which has administrator privlages), and a Guest
    acct. Every time I log in to my administrator account, my desktop does
    NOT load.
    A TEMP user account is created. With all new desktop settings, etc.
    I receive an error message saying that my user profile was/did not load
    correctly. A Temporary user account has been created. Any changes to
    this acct will not be saved.
    Many of my programs are screwed up. ie; Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word.
    My Microsoft Word created each time, as if for the first time. But will
    not load 100%.
    The only way I am able to access my files, (Docs, music, photos, etc.),
    is by going to start, go into Computer, click C:/ drive, click on users,
    click on emilee.
    And there are all my folders file files.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    THANK YOU,

    PS The 2nd acct (the guest acct) opens just fine!!!!

    Back up your data to an external drive and reinstall.

    Backup your data. Flatten your system. Reinstall Windows.

    Every OS has it's share of problems.

    It only seems that way because Windows is used more often than any other OS.

    The more time you spend on an OS, the more problems you will find.

    That you would think Linux has fewer problems than Windows, only shows you
    haven't spent much time using it.

    I have never heard of linux, but will diffinately look into it. Since
    all do not share your opinion, I will beware. I just wanted to say a big
    thanks for all the respones. I will be doing some further toubleshooting
    with scans and such. My only problem is that I was not given the Windows
    VISTA CD with my computer. I got the sealed container, but didn't open
    it untill recently and it was EMPTY. I don't think Tosiba will make up
    for the error, and send me a free disk, after over 2 years. ????
    Anyway, I have backed up the bulk of my data and will work on a proper
    recoverey.

    Will update soon.
    Thanks again,
    pedromom43
