Windows cannot load the user's profile

I am getting the message "Windows cannot laod the user's profile but has
logged you on with the default profile - INCORRECT FUNCTION". This is
preventing me from accessing the internet among issues.

What is corrupted and how do I repair it?

Thank you

The user profile could be corrupted, according to:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318011

Log on as administrator and create a new profile.

I created a new profile as the document suggests. However when I went to
copy from the old profile, as the document directs, I get the following
message:
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\old user name IS NOT ACCESSIBLE
ACCESS IS DENIED.

How do I copy over the old profile?

You must log on as administrator in safe mode. See:

Fixed.

If this error occurs with the symptom of not being able to install any new programs for that user, then

check your Sharing and Permissions for the user in the Document and Settings folders.

I had accidentally set permissions on my "Documents and Settings" file to Do not share. I changed it back and that solved the problem
