| Newbie | Re: User Account - Create Thanks for your reply. It is of no help because there is only one user key with a long number, ie my own administrator user and this is ok because it works and has no .bak on the end. It seems the profile service does not set up a new key entry. John |

| Administrator | Re: User Account - Create You might see if doing a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem can fix it. System Restore - How to If not, you might try a Repair (Upgrade) install to fix the error. Repair Install For Vista |

| Newbie | Alright, Recently I have gotton the error message at logon that the logon failed. I do know for a fact that somehow the folder in C:\Users\(Name) got removed/deleted and I just deleted the account SID in registry. Now that I go back to the Built in Admin and try to create a new account, the link/button won't work! I've been trying for over an hour at least to fix this problem, but so far nothing .Any suggestions?? |

| Newbie | I have a very similar problem, and I have been attempting to fix this for the last three hours. I cannot create a new account. My current accounts are all fine, but any new account I create will not login due to "user profile service could not work" or something related to that. Vista is refusing to create a new user profile, I proved this because nothing new is showing up in the registry. I have already tried system restore, but this failed to fix the problem. It will not work with the default Administrator account nor in safe mode. I really need this fixed, if you can help, please do. Thank you. I am running a very capable Toshiba M305D laptop, one month old with Norton 360 anti-virus. |

| Administrator | Re: User Account - Create Hello AeroSabre, and welcome to Vista Forums. You might check with this tutorial to see if there may a problem with the SID keys for another one of the user accounts. The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded. How far back did you go on the System Restore? You may need to use one date further back. Hope this helps for now, Shawn |

| Official Best Member | Re: User Account - Create I find that the advanced user control panel is good for managing accounts. You can access it by typing "Control userpasswords2" into the start menu search box. |
