Hi,
I have a Toshiba computer with Windows Vista. Last week I received the 'user profile' error with the temp profile. I went through the .ba, .bak changing process but every time I did it, I would restart my computer and the temp profile would be right back. The Word documents I had saved on my desktop, I could not access through another admin profile but the things, I saved in my documents open without a problem. I went ahead an deleted both my original profile and the temp, restarted my computer both profiles were gone. Went on an admin profile tried to open up the desktop Word documents from my deleted profile, the Word icon on the document was faded and the beginning of the document started with these two symbols ~$ so, I click on it and get an error message saying "the destination of this desktop could not be found make sure you have the name typed in right." Same message before I deleted the temp and original profile. I got three file recovery programs which open the Word documents but, I get a few lines of blocks and symbols.
I have also done a system restore with no success, and a clean boot which was unsuccessfull as well. I have no interest in getting the profile back, I just simply need to get the docs, pdfs, pics, etc., from the profiles desktop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ericka
