Max,
You are the 1st person to reply to me. I never found an adequate solution. I
wound up just setting up a new user and lost all the info for that original
user. Fortunately that wasn't much as I had just gotten the computer. The
problem has not occurred again.

Thanks for replying, thats what I intend to do as well. Actually, if you
didnt know, you can still retrieve all your files from the old profile by
going to: start - computer - hard drive - users -old account - etc.. But
still, this is a major glitch in windows, which for some reason hasnt gotten
much attention.

hi

I have the same trouble.
We join a vista pro to a new 2003 domain.
When we copy the profile from the old local profile to the new domain
profile the first time the copy crashe !!! :)
Then we reboot and we are unable to logon normally with the old local
profile or the new domain profile.
When we explore c:\users\oldlocalprofile the folder is empty with 0 bytes :)
!!!
The new one is the same.
Vista always want to logon with a temporary profile.
We lost the old profile with much data.

Any help much apprecied please...

That´s strange because i lost all my files and I tried to restore the files
using "Restore System" but appears an error with the message:
"Restore System not launch corrrectly, the system files not be changed" or
anything like that and I don´t know what i will to do ,please I need your help
