| Guest | Vista - Missing SID for new user account Recently I reinstalled Vista Home Premium and SP1. I made the Administrator a super-administrator and the other a regular administrator. Several weeks later I decided to add another user with standard access. I used the User Accounts control panel and created the new user, set a password, then logged off . WHen I try to logon on, again, the logon screen displays all three users, but when I try to logon to the new user, I get the following: The User Profile Service service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded. I Googled the problem and can across advice to check the ProfileList in the registry. When I did, there were SIDs for the super- administrator, administrator, and guest, but not for the newly created user. So what's up? Is there another way to create a new user that might work? |

| Guest | Re: Vista - Missing SID for new user account There are key entries for the two administrators and guest. THe problem is that I cannot logon, i.e., I get The User Profile Service service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded. Is there some other place where the data for the newly created user is located?

| Guest | Re: Vista - Missing SID for new user account No, there is no key for the new user account. But the question is now moot, as this morning when I tried to logon the system reports that the standard administrator path cannot be found! Something is severly wrong. Time to restore the last image of partition C.
