User Profile Corrupted--Inaccessible??

[Guest]

Yesterday while loading Trillian, my computer suddenly crashed. It rebooted,
crashed, rebooted, crashed, and rebooted, finally going through a disk check
and then back to the normal initial sign-in screen. I chose my profile and
instead of loading my personal settings as normal, a small gray window popped
up that basically said something along the lines of "profile corrupted,"
something about shared files, and that if the problem persisted, to contact
the System Administrator. Then it opened a sort of a temporary profile in
which I didn't have access to any of my files. I have System Restored back
three months, uninstalled Trillian, ran three or four registry/crap cleaners
and virus detectors, and I still can't get into my profile. I can get into
other profiles without any problem, but I can't access any of my files from
the other computer administrator profile on the computer. Help! How can I
fix this? Any ideas, please...I want back into my profile, don't want to
lose the pictures and stuff I have there.

BTW, my computer is a Toshiba laptop, about four years old, Windows XP Home
Edition, Pentium 4, 256mb, 1.6ghz. Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the response, but I've already tried that. Once I get to the part
where I copy my old corrupted profile data to the new profile, a message
comes up when I try to open the old profile in Documents and Settings:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Fallon is inaccessible. Access is denied." Any
other ideas, I hope? Thanks.
