I've created a new user account but can't log into it - I always get the
message "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be
loaded". I can log into all other user accounts.

I am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that I removed a
user and then deleted the users's folder and all the files in that folder
including NTUSER.dat file.

Is there something I need to do to be able to log into the new user
account(s)?

Is the new user account the same name as the one you deleted? Delete the
new user account thru the control panel>users applet, restart and then
recreate the new user.

I did what suggest - deleted the new user account (which had a different
name to the one I deleted earlier) via Control Panel>User Accounts,
restarted the machine and created a new user (again with a different name)
but can't log into that account, same message as before. If I look at the
Users folder in Explorer there is no folder the new user although the new
user name appears when you look at the users via User Accounts!!

I have done everything suggested in this article but to no avail. After
making all the changes per the article, I end up with the following
settings:

User Accounts: Admin (there are no other user accounts)
User Profiles: Laptop\Admin
Registry>......>ProfileList: S1-5-18
S1-5-19
S1-5-20
S1-5-21-3454285694-more
numbers-numbers-1008 >ProfileImagePath C:\Users\Admin

I rebooted the machine and then created a new user (dougc), restarted the
machine and the User Accounts now shows dougc as another user but the User
Profiles nor the Registry>ProfileList show any changes and I cannot log into
this account ("The User Profile Service failed the logon. User Profile
cannot be loaded").

Don't know what else I can do to log into a new user account. Looking at my
desktop computer in Expolrer>Users, all the users in User Accounts show as
well as Default user which is not in User Accounts. This Default user does
not show on my laptop where I have the login problem. Perhaps this has
something to do with the problem.

Hope you can help.
