'User Profile Service service failed the logon
Can someone PLEASE help me... My computer hasn't loaded for 3 days now. It just comes up with:
User Profile Service service failed the logon.
User Profile could not load.
What do I do? I cant get on the computer at all, because i only have one user profile on my computer. I'm in school, and I don't really know much about computers. What could have caused it? And how do I fix it? Please help, I really need to get to some of the files on my computer... Please!

Many times, that's the kiss of death. Unless, you have an
image backup, you might have to reinstall Vista.
You might try booting into safe mode and running
System Restore. Or, using the install disc to boot from
and running System Restore or CompletePC Backup.
Have you ever made a CompletePC Backup? That option
is only available for the Ultimate and Business versions.
You could try the repair option offered when booting
from the disc. Don't think it'll work for that though.
Sometimes rebooting a few times will "fix" that particular
problem.
If you want, there's one more option- try a "repair install",

Although this post does the work notice that step 4 above is messed up. The
main idea is: i) Go to the directory without extension and add (rename it) an
extension .bak. ii) Go to the directory with *.bak extension and remove it
(by renaming it). The following link has the correct steps
