Posted to "New to the Community"

It has been a long time since my first visit here and seems some of the site has changed a bit.  Explaining what my issue is to Bev and was directed here.  Below was posted before so now this is just a shortened version.  I have attempted the DVD Repair from the original disc as well as the version on the H/D and NOTHING is found wrong.

System is OptiPlex 960 Win 7 PRO SP1 there have been several suggesting the use of Driver UPDATES, but; that is part of my issue, my Admin access keeps telling me "The User Profile Service service failed the logon.  User profile cannot be loaded."  When attempting to install updates that require Admin Password through the UAC  . .  just downloaded the latest MBAM v2.1.8.1057 to install, ERROR box with message "ShellExcuteEx failed; Code 2. The system cannot find the file specified."  That file is 'mbam-setup-2.1.8.1057.exe size 23,776 KB.  I purchased the MBAM PRO Life Time Updates and they rolled it over to this Premium.

For some reasonWindows cannot find any thing on the drive to run except what is in the BOOT up and like my FF v39 and my Email client, Pegasus Mail. Both seem, to be immune to this part of my problem.

Any suggestions that maybe will work would be appreciated, except the Reinstall of the O/S.  I have a difficult time with doing that, I am an analyst and like to find what is causing my problem then work to fix it or a work around.

Below is another part of my post:

Have done the µbarf (Microsoft) Community and they misunderstood what I had posted accusing me of USING ADMIN to surf the web which is the MAJOR NO NO NO when it comes to doing anything online.  All they suggest is RE-install,

I digress a bit here, my training is Electronics, Journeyman Electronics/w computer logic, IC chips, et ceteras . . over 65 years experience/w hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, list is too long.  Started working with computers about 1973, Data General 19" 64bit Main Frame/w I/O Teletype, before using a monitor.  Transitioned into desktops and was Manager of a small Burroughs O/S of 36 dumb terminals for tracking about 85,000 calibrated, maintenance and repair of all test equipment for Kelly, A.F.B. Tx with some fly-ins from around the World. About $100,000,000 worth of products.  Started surfing the net in DOS 3.1 before color monitors, green screens.  Oh, the WWW (World Wide Web) had not been setup nor Windows.  Help friends, neighbors, and Family with computer problems.

Just a little back-ground so you know experimenting is not an issue as that is an on-going task.

MG,

Looking into that site at this time, will get back later if there are any more questions.
Never knew anything about this feature, but; have used it extensively over the years.  Familiar with several of these features, now learning from explanations, may improve my success.  OR deeper failures.

Thank you, LATER

Do NOT like giving this type of Reply, NOPE!  They are NOT any help what-so-ever.

There have been several sites suggested on different forums that were LESS than doing any good.  These need be studied on individual bases as to what will work and what is, for a better word, TRASH!  Some times you get sent to a site that wants to add ads, monitoring/tracking, trick you into installing someone else's software before getting something from them, and then you find their software is NOT what you needed after all.  Even Microsoft's Community forum is NOT immune to these tack-ticks.

So far DELL's has been more encouraging to assist without that other garbage, HOPE your's will continue to be of HELP.

Thank you for that suggestion but, NOT any HELP.
