User Account Not Showing Up On Login Screen

Hi There,

I can't login to my user account on my main computer, it is not shown on the
login screen when I turn the computer on.

Other Users are shown and when I use another administrater account and check
the users, my account is shown in there but I can't access it from anywhere?

Any Ideas anyone?

Many Thanks

Ted

Create a new user and copy the settings over from the old one.

Hi Mark ,

I tried that already and it didn't work in that it didn't show anything I'd
saved ie: what was in my documents or my files etc.

Thanks Anyway
