Title: Log in problems Post by: scillyred on Friday, September 27, 2013, 12:13:40 Windows Vista - when I put in my password I get a message
'the user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.' Any idea what I should do other than :crash: I have disabled updates to stop this thing but may have slipped through via AVG Cheers Title: Re: Log in problems Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, September 27, 2013, 12:34:49 Here is a guide, it says for Windows 7 but it is Vista as well.

Updated to AVG 2014 yesterday - that will teach me !! Title: Re: Log in problems Post by: Sippo on Friday, September 27, 2013, 15:05:21 Start the PC in safe mode pressing F8. When it starts up, press the windows key and the R button - should bring up the run box. Type in regedit. Browse to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/windows nt/current version/profile list.
Delete all the profiles with the long numbers. There should be three with shorter numbers - do not delete those. Restart your PC. We've recently had this issue and can solve it with my eyes closed Title: Re: Log in problems Post by: Berniman on Friday, September 27, 2013, 15:29:18 Get rid of Vista and install Windows 7

We've recently had this issue and can solve it with my eyes closed Thanks for the help - did not go totally to plan as AVG decided to play silly buggers and would not update or uninstall. Eventually decided to restore - which AVG did not like at all :D Have this morning ordered an iMac - might as well have fun in my dotage ::) Thanks again for your help |
