Vista - User Profiles are corrupt and I'm unable to login.

User Profiles are corrupt and I'm unable to login.


Hey, I got a brand new laptop installed with Vista and had absolutely no
problems logging in for the first weeks. But recently, specifically
after a Update Install, the computer rebooted and came up with an Error
saying that it could not access C:\Users. When trying to log in, (my
account is an admin), it told me that the User Profiles Service was
corrupt and could not load my profile.

I've tried repairing/restoring via the F8 Menu at Start Up but nothing
seems to fix it. The repair made the original Error message stop popping
up but I still can't even log on to my profile.

I believe I know how to copy everything to another User Profile, but
the problem is, I can't even log on past the User Selection screen to do
anything! It's rather frustrating...

So, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. At last resort, I
was planning on just calling the Support Line for my manufacturer.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.


PS) I'm on a different computer right now, in case you were wondering.
