Same problem, resolved by doing a system restore. The problem appeared immediately after an automatic update ran this morning. Is there a known relationship between auto updates (windows) and this error?

i got this problem today did system restore. like dsbeck said this problem came back again. i'm goin to back up all my data and reinstall windows. grrrr... i hate it

I just got a new Dell desktop. As i was setting everything up, the dialog box keeps reading the profile was not loaded correctly. Therefore any changes made will not be saved. So what i did was created another account. I could save my work on that account. But when i went online to download firefox, i had a blue screen pop up stating "windows is going to shut down to prevent data being damaged" and it restarted on its own. When i logged on again it reads windows just recovered from an unexpected shut down. How can i rectify this issue?

Hello Connie,

The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

Since it is new and you are just setting everything up, you might consider reinstalling Vista though.

Shawn,

I thought about reinstalling Vista again. But I am concern if i do that and it doesn't work. I will not be able to return my desktop.

Connie,

The error you got is usually associated with just a corrupted user account. You should not have any problems with returning to the desktop after a reinstall if you decide to do so. I would give the tutorial in the link a try first to see if it can fix the error for you.

For your Info:

I get this on Domain computers when Vista Business cannot find the Server copy of the Roaming Profiles. Normally find that the shared server folder is unavailable for some reasons.
