    Temporary profile problem


    I have a peculiar problem that I hope you can help with. After coming home from an 18 day holiday, I switched my computer on, after an inordinately long time when the screen was displaying "Preparing your Desktop" I was given a screen that had very few icons on and a legend that stated that I had been given a temporary profile and and any alterations I made would be cancelled on closure. Restart would not help. However (and here is the odd part) if I close down the computer and then switch off at the mains, leaving it off for a minimum of 1/2 an hour (any less doesn't work) the computer will boot up as normal??? Any future restarts or software on/off will result in temporary profile again.
    Whilst I can live with this, it doesn't seem right.

Hi all, firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place.... Yesterday I turned on my computer as usual to find that when I entered my password into my user log on, instead of "welcome" I got "preparing your desktop". I didn't grasp quite what that meant (figured windows updates was to blame)...

As a previous post states, "Every now and then, when I log in, it says Loading Desktop instead of Welcome, and it logs me into a profile." But in my case, I have, unfortunately, a much worse situation :( You see, I had to keep a program file on the desktop of my main profile because it would...

This has happened a total of three times, and it's bugging me. The first time was maybe a month ago, when I attempted to shut down my computer and it said that there were some processes running and that I'd have to "Force Restart." I did so, and when I logged in, my desktop came up looking like...
