I downloaded a microsoft update and then uninstalled it becasue it took away my user profile. That didn't help as it still only allows me to go on as a temp profile. How do I get back to my original profile?

Hello Ibconn, and welcome to Vista Forums.
You might see if doing a System Restore at boot using a restore point dated when everything was ok may be able to fix it for you.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

And, after you follow Sean's suggestion, you might try reinstalling the update, because it was probably a corrupted install that took away your user profile. (Surely no update would have intended to do that!) Even if worse came to worse, and the 2nd update install did the same thing, you could always uninstall it (by going to Windows Updates, selecting "See update history" and then following the directions in "Installed Updates").
