Vista Administrator Login Problems
Hi
Was just getting to terms with Vista then boom. I have 2 accounts, one administrator and one guest. For some reason now i cant access my admin account as it says the following
'The user profile service failed to log on'
'Their is an error with the service'
So now i have no control using my guest account
Anybody help
Cheers Gav
Re: Vista Administrator Login Problems
Yeah, I have exactly the same problem, I can now only access the guest account, it's no big problem cause I can still access all my documents, pictures, music etc but I've lost the comfort of being logged into my own profile if you know what I mean! :ohyeah: Anyways yeah if anyone has any solutions to the problem please help :biggrin:
Many thanks x

I closed down.
2. Turned computer
on and immediately pressed F8 repeatedly until I got "Advanced Boot Options".
3. used the down arrow to select "Safe Mode" and pressed enter.
4. computer then opened eventually in the funny look of safe mode, with a "Help" window.
5. In the help window there is an underlined "What is System Restore?" Clicking on that gave me the answer and "Click to open System Restore"
6. I clicked on that and a new window came up recommending restoring to a previous state before windows update
which I had done before the fault occurred.
7. I clicked OK and after a bit of whirring all came up OK. Can you imagine how pleased I felt?
8. Incidentally I had also changed the display font size to the larger size just before the fault occurred so while in Safe Mode I managed to remember how I had done that and changed it back again as that may have caused the fault.
