Solved Last chance saloon for Win 7 cannot create a new user

[thorrrr]

OK you Win 7 Gurus it's Monday and I need some help! As for the past weeks I have trawled the forums looking for help on an issue that pops up a lot but none of the fixes apply to me.

I cannot create any new users I have one user me logged is a Admin. I will try a shorts possible tell you what I have done.

If I create a new standard user I cannot even login with this user I get this error

If I create a new Admin User I can login but the system says profile cannot be found System default profile applied see here

I have check the registry and have no backup file and no new profile as it refuses to create one.

I have also made sure Secondary logon is activated in Services. I get another generic error see here

I have tried several fixes but it will not recognise a new profile. My system runs fine besides this issue. So I do not want to do a reinstall if I do not have to.

From Event Viewer I get 2 errors

• Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. Event ID1511
• Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for for the system. DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.Event ID 1505

The only thing I have done recently was to use Norton Ghost to take a full copy my HDD image to transfer to a SSD card. It was a full image and everything is as it was. So I may have had this issue before I did the image copy.

Really would like some help on this guys here is a picture of my registry if it help see here

Please help me

Please take a look at this Microsoft article, which offers three possible solutions to your problem.

You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon

You may also want to consider a Repair Install: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

You could also boot into Safe Mode and try creating a new profile from there.

Lastly, have you tried a system restore to a point in time before the problem arose?

That was the first article I looked at no good !!!!

 

[thorrrr]

Restore point is no good as its an image it would take me back to old drivers of the old HDD and setup.

Not tried SafeMode

check your registry for errors

That is ussually why you can't get something to run

There is a image of the registry it does not create one. Even if I restore the built in Admin account through cmd window it does not do it???

Do I have to go through the reactivation procedure with this??

I also have lots of symbolic links that I will no doubt lose which I use to save space on my SSD card. What a pain

JUst realised another issue cannot get my pc to acknowledge F8 to allow me to go into Safe Mode

 

[seavixen32]

Have you tried the repair install?

 

[gregrocker]

Why would you be concerned about reactivation if you run the necessary Repair Install?

Your User account likely corrupted using the Norton bloatware. You can try reimaging it again to another partition, then adding it from the extant Win7 using EasyBCD to boot in and test it. If it fails then the image is corrupt.

Repair Install is your best option short of the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which steps are the same for retail. This is almost always better than getting a new computer since they are all larded with bloatware. Then save a Win7 or Macrium image so you never have to reinstall again.

JUst look how weird this is my new user has a registry entry but not show in registry !!!!
