EmCom

Again it happended.. after 8 months. When i started xp it said "cannot open your profile.. blaa blaa its corrupted" All my settings and shortcuts, everything gone! now i aint gonna set everything up again if it does this again in the near future. So im asking, has anyone been in the same situation and how could i fix this. Last time i did everything from the start, icons, programs but now i have too many of them and it would take ages to even remember everything So all help appreciated

Ok so i just deleted my last profile and made a new one. System restore didnt help at all for this problem.. strange tho i loaded from a week old backup where everything would have been right :I Well i suppose it doesnt back profiles up. Now im going to back up everything related to my current profile to avoid it in the future. And thanks for the tips everybody

Hmm i created a new profile but it keeps loading the admin account always even if i have another profile created ? i copied all the files and the dat files too :I well that was yesterday. As soon as i get home from work ill try some of the tips if heard here. Noticed too that i cant "delete" the admin account whats broken... so it would change to some other account. Well i did expect i cant do that

Damn it! Holidays starting and my comps screwed up. Its not that i cant repair the things but im going to a lan party tomorrow maybe and this sucks :I It would be ok if i could save the settings but i cant do it because it always say it wont save any of the changes i made to the desktop. So if anyone know how i could make it to save the settings... the last profile doesnt matter if i could only get it to save some changes, please tell me

Well i've noticed some corruption now and then on my files :I And i have a IBM hd.. dont remember exactly what model but it's close to yours Alien. Ill try the system restore of it would be kind enough to do something, but i dont know when it has made an backup so its there and there if it works Damn this can be hard.
