Solved Windows 7 starter black background problem.

[thatdoggonegirl]

Please help me. I'm having a really BIG problem with my laptop.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Notebook NB 205.

This is the first time it happened. I just restarted my notebook last night suddenly my background changed to black background. I don't know what happened but there's a pop up message about the "default account". I don't know anything about that.

I tried all the tutorials here but it didn't help me. I even tried on YouTube but all of it didn't help me. I really don't know what to do now. I always ended up with the BLACK BACKGROUND.

The problem also affects some of my apps like:

1. I can't open my iTunes anymore.
2. It's like it went back from the start again, like when you opened it, the same features when I first bought it.
3. I can no longer access or changed my pointer or my mouse pointer. What the hell!
4. My desktop icons were gone.
5. I REALLY CAN'T CHANGE MY BACKGROUND!
6. Everytime I turned on my laptop, when I already entered my password there's a "PREPARING YOUR DESKTOP" thingy always pops up.
7. Some of my software are no longer working like my Adobe Softwares, Adobe Photoshop.

Please help me.

Welcome to SF.
According to your description, it seems you login the system with a temporary user profile. Try to check it:
1. click Start orb, input cmd and run the command prompt;
2. check if it shows "C:\Users\TEMP".

If yes, it means your user profile has been corrupted. try to rebuild your user profile.

Luckily, I fixed the black background. Yay! I just installed the Oceanis and it worked pretty well. So, I don't have a black background anymore but I still have my main problem it's my user profile. I tried to fix it but unfortunately, I couldn't fix it. Everytime I logged in yeah there goes the notification that says "Default Log On Profile". I wish I could fix this all by myself so there's no need for me to go somewhere where someone can fix it for me for a money. Lol!

I don't understand but everytime I'm trying to fix my user profile and make a new one (well yeah it looks just fine when I made a new user profile) but everytime I logged in to a new user profile I made it still says "default log on". I really don't understand! Well, this is a really big problem.

The system specs are for us so we know what kind of hardware we're trying to help with. It makes it easier for us to try to find information on the web, or from personal experience and then we can help you better.

It's very hard to fix a car if you won't let the mechanic look under the hood.
You don't have to post your system specs if you don't want to. It's your computer.
Have a nice day.

IS IT OKAY IF I'LL JUST FORMAT MY HARD DRIVE? IS IT GOING TO HELP MY PROBLEM? All the help is about this ProfileList but you see I can't find the "ProfileList" in Registry even though I'm following all the steps. You see my problem? I don't know what to do anymore. Srsly.:huh:

If you format thee drive you are going to lose everything and I don't think you will like that at all.
Like Layback bear says - very hard unless we know what memory, Hard drives, CPU, motherboard etc the machine has in it . That info gives us chance to find the drivers and any support info on thta machine.

Are y'all talking about this?

 

[andrew129260]

Yes.

Could you please take a screenshot of the error message you are seeing?

Have you tried right clicking the desktop-go to personalize and choose windows 7 under aero themes?

What security software do you use? Antivirus? Have you scanned for threats?

Andrew I could be wrong here and stand to be corrected but I thought these mini laptops (Netbooks) came with the 7 Starter OS which doesn't include Aero?

I have dealt with a couple before and the themes are very basic.

I'm pretty sure that Win 7 Starter doesn't allow Aero.

 

[andrew129260]

Ya, it doesn't. You think I would have noticed the word starter in the title.....

Yes.

It says something about Default Logged On Profile. I'm using Avast! Antivirus. I already scanned it there were no threats found.
