"windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted"
I have had problems booting up my computer. It is giving me the message "Windows cannot load your profile b/c it may be corrupted". It tries to load a temporary user but never makes it and just sort of freezes. I booted it up in safe mode and was going to try to do a system restore but apparently it is turned off and I can't turn system restore back on unless it is in normal mode. What can I do. Thanks.

Home or Pro?
If Home, boot into "safe mode" and go to control panel/user accounts and create a New user account, then restart the PC and log into the new account you just created, then you can copy the old user profile over to the new user account and start using that account from now on.
scroll down to "Copying your user profile

After you use the new user account for a few days and are happy with it, go to control panel/user accounts and delete the corrupted account.

When you start up the PC, Do you get the Welcome screen to log on?
If you do, reboot and when you get to the welcome screen, do a Ctrl + Alt + Del twice in rapid succession, do you get a different logon window? If so type in Administrator for the user and leave the password blank, hit enter key, does this allow you to load windows?
