I think that this is the same problem that I am having.
I am the sole user on a stsndalone PC running Vista Home Premium
I can "create" a new User via the Control Panel \ User Accounts\Manage User
Accounts|Add New Account. The account appears to have been created; I can
give it a password and assign a picture. It features on the Log On screen,
but will not load. The User Profile Service denies access.
When I then look in Windows Explorer under C:\Users there is no new account
created..only the original one (me).
The same thing occurs if I try to turn on Guest Account..it cannot log on
and does not seem to exist.
Please help
