Win 7 log on prob

Options
Hi I am using win 7 32bit, and I am unable to log onto one of my administrator accounts. When the account screen logs up, I click the account, enter password and then windows says something like "unable to load user profile". I just cant log into it. Any idea why this is? I am able to log into my other accounts no problem. Any idea to repair this if possible?

Thanks for your help.

  • this is a new fault that has occured from the latest window update

    i think there are some registry edits you can do to correct this

    i just formatted my hard disk and started again but i dont have anything important on my laptop its just for browsing

    registry edit is like this

    Just delete the particular profile from registry which is causing the problem.
    go to registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

    SOFTWARE >>MICROSOFT>>WINDOWS NT>>CURRENT VERSION>>PROFILE LIST>> search the profile under <<S-1-5 >> and DELETE THE PROFILE ENTRY.
  • heres some other methods with pretty pictures
