Built-in Administrator profile missing, error 1511
Somehow my "built-in Administrator" has been damaged. After loading, there is a pop-up that tells me "you have been logged on with a temporary profile..." Checking Event Viewer shows Error 1511, "Windows cannot find local profile," has occurred. I believe I have an understanding of how to fix this if it were a "standard" or "administrator" profile but am not certain what to do, since this is the "built-in administrator" profile. I have tried: stopping/starting the built-in Administrator from a non-elevated administrator account. loggin to Administrator (built in) in safe mode. log off, hoping for it to create a new profile. no luck with anything. I do not have a Win7 DVD (only the hidden backup on my system hdd). there is no "Restore" available that is prior to the problem.
