The profile is corrupt. Create a new profile, and try copying the old one to
it.

Thanks guys. I had a hint from another source and checked J's account type -
standard. Changed to Administrator and all is well. Not 100% ideal. Sounds
like some form of permissions issue.

Sage,

I have the exact same problem as you.
Can you post here if you find a better solution than making everyone
Administrator?
Thanks,

I am trying to set up a standard user account on my vista PC and get this
problem too - problem remains after deleting and repeating 'add new account'
and I do not want to give this account admin privileges.

Does someone have a solution please?!!!
