My Desktop will not load!!!


PLEASE try to Help!!
I have never seen a problem like this. I am at my wits end as to how to
fix it.

Heres a little history:
Problems started back in the middle of Sept (1 1/2 months ago). I
logged several hrs, over 3 days, over the phone w/ Microsoft Tech
support. Unfortunately, were unable to pin point the problem. They said
it was probably a conbination of spyware and viruses.

Here are some of the issues acurring:
I have 2 accts. Mine, (which has administrator privlages), and a Guest
acct. Every time I log in to my administrator account, my desktop does
NOT load.
A TEMP user account is created. With all new desktop settings, etc.
I receive an error message saying that my user profile was/did not load
correctly. A Temporary user account has been created. Any changes to
this acct will not be saved.
Many of my programs are screwed up. ie; Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word.
My Microsoft Word created each time, as if for the first time. But will
not load 100%.
The only way I am able to access my files, (Docs, music, photos, etc.),
is by going to start, go into Computer, click C:/ drive, click on users,
click on emilee.
And there are all my folders file files.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?
THANK YOU,

PS The 2nd acct (the guest acct) opens just fine!!!!

Back up your data to an external drive and reinstall.

Backup your data. Flatten your system. Reinstall Windows.

Flatten your system? What type of hammer do you recommend?

I would suggest the following:

1) Backup your data
2) Install Windows and use the option to wipe clean the partition and
create a new one.
3) Load Motherboard drivers if any
4) Install anti-virus software
5) Reinstall Apps.
6) reload Data.

What ever you do - DO NOT flatten your system. It will break.

Yeah - but it would be a lot easier to simply install Linux and have done
with it!

It only seems that way because Windows is used more often than any other OS.

The more time you spend on an OS, the more problems you will find.

That you would think Linux has fewer problems than Windows, only shows you
haven't spent much time using it.

So your idea is to throw away all the Windows based programs that he already
has and install an INFERIOR OS? You should lay off the drugs.

Re: My Desktop will not load!!!


I have never heard of linux, but will diffinately look into it. Since
all do not share your opinion, I will beware. I just wanted to say a big
thanks for all the respones. I will be doing some further toubleshooting
with scans and such. My only problem is that I was not given the Windows
VISTA CD with my computer. I got the sealed container, but didn't open
it untill recently and it was EMPTY. I don't think Tosiba will make up
for the error, and send me a free disk, after over 2 years. ????
Anyway, I have backed up the bulk of my data and will work on a proper
recoverey.

Will update soon.
Thanks again,
pedromom43
