Hi,

When I log on as Administrator, I get this message:

"Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupt. Contact your administrator."

After some time, the following message appears:

"Windows cannot load the profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off."

I am in after this but this happens every time with user Administrator. Any ideas to make it stop?

Thanks
 
Sounds like the Administrator account is using a roaming profile...bad news. Use a local profile for the administrator account if this is the case.
Does that help?

I have had this happen to me. I had to log on as a different admin, delete the administrator foled in documents and settings (save anything in there you need) and log back on to recreate the profile. Worked like a charm.
