I just wanted to thank A.Kirke for the info listed above. When waking
my laptop up from sleep I recieved the message "User profile service,
service failed to Logon". I have been upset for the past several days
w/o being able to retrieve the safe mode manner or access other profiles
and no time to deal with it. I decided to search online (via my
husbands comp) for solutions to my problem thinking I probably had one
of those "no one knows what I'm talking about problems" when I ran
across this thread. I applied every detail listed in the quote above
and what a wonderful feeling it is to have my computer back. Again
Thanks so much!
