Windows profile corrupted

[livmed]

Hi there

I have a computer with Windows 2000. It was turned on
this morning and the following messages appeared:

"Windows cannot load your profile because it may be
corrupted"

Then it said:

"Logging on with a temporary profile"

The problem here is that when I open Outlook, all the
email messages and contacts are no longer there. I guess
this is to do with the profile not being correct. The
computer was not set up to take a username and password
(i.e. everyone that turned on the computer had access to
the admin profile).

Tried running in safe mode, but the same message
appeared!!!

Could anyone suggest how I can get the profile back.

I would be much obliged...
