Hope this helps,

This is happening on a new profile that has just been created. Its like the service is hosed?? I will try a these tomorrow .. Thanks !!

Oh Yeah .. tried system restore ,, didnt work. I have system image back-ups on the server. I am going to restore it back a couple months ago and see if that fixes it. Not sure when the issue really began. May have been there all along.

ok post your result when you already try it.

Restored and fixed, not sure what happened. Thanks for the help !

glad can hear your problem solved.

Hi,

I just happen to have the same problem on windows 7 ultimate x64. I went a bit further in its identification: what happens is that when I create a new account it cannnot create the folder for the new user and the registry key for the new user is not created either. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ only contains the system user keys and the one for the user i created on installation.

I've heard that this problem could come from the NTuser.dat file in the "default" user folder so I tried using one from a vista premium x32 but it didn't solve the problem. Any idea?
