Windows fails to log on to my admin account.

[tommycake50]

Every time I try to log into my (only) account on windows seven I get this error message:

The user profile service failed the logon.

User profile cannot be loaded.

If I log into safe mode and perform a net user username /del will windows ask me to create a new account next time I boot the computer?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay, now the user accounts tab in control panel won't let me go to Manage Accounts to actually create a new account (I'm in safe mode BTW).

Are you logged in as a user with admin rights?

Yes, logged in as Administrator.

It is possible that since it wont let you create a new account; that something either in the registry or elsewhere could have gotten corrupted somehow. I might consider trying to do a system restore off the windows disc if you have that available; as if you followed the steps in that tutorial completely and it still wont let you create a account then you might just have to do a system restore or repair if it will let you.

Well, a system restore isn't really an option but I will try a startup repair.

Okay, startup repair didn't detect any problem and system restore doesn't have any restore points so that's not going to work.

Well if it comes down to it you may have to do a clean install using the link in my signature that says clean install.

So, I recreated my account and my home folder, but it still wont log in...
Do I REALLY need to fresh install because I would really rather not.
Essentially net user will create a new account but it won't log in properly(And also doesn't add a registry key) and I can't access manage accounts in the control panel. Is the logon service broken or...?

Like I said you may have to do a clean install especially if it's not allowing the account to log into the system. I think someone else may have to step in and help here as short of
Doing a clean install i have run out of ideas on this one.

Okay, well thanks anyway.

Still don't understand why you are using the command prompt net user command.
Can't you use Control Panel / User Accounts to create the new account?

I know we were discussing this in your other thread but I'd still like to understand what happe4ns when you do.

Well; what i am telling you may very well be the truth unless someone else that knows a way around this can add this to resolve the issue.

When I click on user accounts it goes to the page of the logged in user account and I can't click "Manage another account" because when I do nothing happens.
But I think only when logged in as admin/in safe mode.
For some reason when I'm logged in as admin or in safe mode I also can't create files so that might be part of the problem. Should I try from WinRE or would that account just be stored on the temporary X: drive?

If you have Administrator enabled, can you login to it from a normal boot?

I think we're going in circles here. May be time to bit the bullet, backup your data and do a repair install. If that doesn't fix it then do a clean install. Painful but it should resolve the problems.

Try http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html in the safe mode command prompt. Post the results afterwards.

Jumping in to ask a few question or two. Don't let my post distract you from the path you are on.

Are any of the other accounts admin or are they standard users?

I read a members post a while back that spoke of recreating the user profile, don't know if I booked it or not. While I look, does that jog anyone else's memory? There might even be a tutorial on recreating a user profle.
The steps were fairly simple..,, I'll post what I find.

If you have another admin account, try creating a new user profile on that login.

Every time I try to log into my (only) account on windows seven I get this error message:

The user profile service failed the logon.
 
User profile cannot be loaded.

If I log into safe mode and perform a net user username /del will windows ask me to create a new account next time I boot the computer?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah I tried admin from normal boot, same happened as in safe mode.

Will try SFC /SCANNOW now.

No, it didn't really help. I think I'll just fresh install... thanks for all the help guys.
