Thank you much JMH

I will be back!
And next time i hopefully will have fixed my problem and can be of use to this forum at some point!

 

[JMH]

That we would welcome.

It is always a pleasure to help intelligent & polite people seeking help.
You sir were both!

 

[BHuber09]

Thank you sir

I am a big time member on another forum so i know what its like when people are crabby and get made when you dont know what the problem is and trying to fix it.
I understand how it is when someone is being difficult.

But again i appreciate how nice you all are here, it definitely beats other forums ive been on.

Any Forum is as good as its Admin / Management IMHO.
Seven Forums has a very capable & successful crew at the helm.

@JMH - Lurker!

@BHuber09
It's been a VERY interesting thread for me - thanks for the time you have put into it
As I said, it's the first time I've got this deep into this particular error - and it had a few surprises, as you realise.
One last thing you could do for me, is list the properties of the C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService folder.
To do this, please open an Admin Command Prompt window, and run the following command....

icacls C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\* /save %UserProfile%\ACLFile.txt /T

This will place the file ACLFile.txt in the base folder of your USername - please zip it and post it.
It'll take me a few days, probably, to digest the content (if I don't get indigestion!) - but If I discover anything useful, I'll come back.

At the moment, my thoughts are obviously leaning towards a permissions problem - the registry seems to be OK.
It may be that the data has been moved somewhere outside the Windows structure or deleted completely, by some piece of malware or a disk problem, and the permssions have been changed so that it doesn't allow entry into the folder.
- you could try searching the whole disk for the file tokens.dat and see what gets found, if anything.

Either way, good luck in your quest for a solution - make sure that you point MS at this thread, as it'll save a lot of time for them and you.

Thanks again you being so patient!

I'm sorry its been so long but an interesting thing Happened the day you last posted.
I rebooted my computer and it booted into a system recovery mode. After a few days I called Dell and asked what I should do. They had me boot into recovery run a diagnostics report they said there wasn't an issue because it succeeded. So they had my go into delldata safe or something similar and I'm guessing just wipe my system. Because when I booted back up (it worked) it took me through setup guides and all that and I lost all my files ( which sucks but its fixed so all is well) Thank you very much for your help I greatly appreciate your knowledge and how much effort you into helping me. It will not be forgotten

OUCH! - but typical OEM - they value client data as somewhat less valuable than what you'd normally flush down the toilet, if it gets you off the phone quickly.

I'm sorry to have seemingly directed you to a black hole - that was not my intention.
The specialist in this forum seems to have been having his own problems, as he's not been around lately.

Whatever, I'm glad that you appear to have found a solution that you can live with.

Good Luck for the future!

 

[BHuber09]

My computer is fixed which is all I needed haha thank you much good sir

 

[NoelDP]

You're very welcome - I just wish we'd got to a more satisfactory solution.

Good Luck!
