Answer» Laptop Specs:
Toshiba Satellite A205-S4607 (Pro, I believe)
Windows Vista
I don't know how to find RAM and other specs
Problem:
When I turn on my computer, the log-in screen comes up as normal. I type in my password and it goes to the Welcome screen. But it takes about a minute and a half to on this page over the usual 10-15 seconds. It also makes a sound as if it is reading a CD, but there is no CD in the drive. Then it goes to a screen saying "Loading Desktop Settings" it stays here for a long time as well. When i finally get to the desktop, it is not my normal desktop. A small pop-up comes off the right side of my start bar and it says: Your desktop could not be loaded correctly! A temporary profile has been loaded and any changes made to it will not be saved. Also, the welcome center comes up as if it were the first time for me to use the laptop. This happens every time i try to sign in my administrative account. If I sign into guest this problem does not occur. I am able to use the laptop normally (i.e. get online, make documents, run programs) but nothing is saved because of the Temporary settings. I know my files are still on the computer because when I ran my virus scans I saw them scanning all my files. Basically what i need help with is to figure out how i can sign into my administrative account and stop my laptop from starting this temporary profile.
When it started:
I stupidly let someone use my laptop for their PERSONAL stuff. I noticed she was on Photobucket uploading and saving pictures she had saved from the internet on my computer. When she was here my computer froze and she began clicking the mouse rapidly and hitting buttons to try and make it unfreeze. I told her to just let it work itself out and wait. Then the "internet explorer has stopped working" alert came up and it just restarted the browser...but since this first time it has ever done this, it is doing it more often now. When she was done she shut down my computer using the method to just CLOSE out of everything and close the laptop shut. I did not get on my laptop for about 2 days, and when i did try to get on it began taking me to the temporary profile instead of my administrative one.
What i have done:
I've ran McAfee Virus Scan, McAfee Stinger, and Ad-Aware. There were some corrupted music files found, some cookie trackers from websites and not much more. I also tried starting my computer and PRESSING F8 to run the different diagnostics on that menu to see if i could solve the problem that way. None of them target this problem, because my files are not missing i just cannot get access to them because they are in C://Users/Arielle not C://Users/Temp.Arielle
Please help me figure out how to stop logging into a temporary profile so i can log into my own.Quote There were some corrupted music files found Explain.

Just thought these links would be useful if you are still tracking this topic. The link addresses what happens when your profile log in gets renamed or changed. Hope it helps.
