new user account problem

[JN]

Hi.
I'm trying to create another user account on my computer say Dave. When I
log off and get the log on users with the choice of mine or Dave and I click
it, I get this message
"Windows cannot load the users profile but has logged you on with the
default profile for the system"
It then opens and when I look in Documents and Settings there are 2 folders
created, one with the name I gave the new user and the other one with the
name followed by .computer name. What is that all about???

The folders in Documents and Settings are now
1 Administrator
2 My Id
3 Default User (hidden)
4 All users.Windows
5 Dave
6 Dave.Computername
I can delete #5 and be left with #6 but I do not want the folder to be named
like that. I just want it to be called Dave!!!

Can someone please help me. I created 4 new IDs on a friend's pc and didn't
have a problem at all.
