Windows XP HELP!!

[Kama89]

Well, I whined all over the YaYas about this, now I'll come and whine at the rest of ya'll.


At boot up, Windows XP gave an error message saying that my personal preferences could not be loaded due to some sort of file corruption. I can't access my email, my desktop, nada, zip zilcho. GRRRR!!!! After clicking OK on that error message window, then it said that it was creating a temp. profile and that any changes I made to this temp. profile would be lost upon reboot... Ran virus scan, came up clean... now what?!? Any idea what caused this and what do we do now? Tom is considering a system restore... is this a good idea? ARGH!!!!!!!! I can't get to my eeeeeeee-mail, my files, nothing! ACK!!!!

Does anyone have any advice?

Kim, try creating a new profile first. Log in under the new profile and it should look to be exactly like what you had before and all should be fine.

I bow to the expertise of computer geek tag team, Elaine and Luis. Thanks for the phone call guys.

Not a problem Kim... just glad it's all working again Oh and who are you calling a geek?!?!

Geek is a compliment when it comes to understanding computers!

And I think of Luis as the Alpha Geek because he laughs at the computer jokes that I don't understand.

As long as I am not the Alpha geek, I am happy!!!
