Vista won't create new users

[Matthew Riddel]

Hi, I am trying to create a new user for my computer running on Vista home Premium. It says that it has created it but no folders have been created for it and when I try to logon it says somethin like 'the user profile service failed the logon'
I've tryed going into regedit and doing that .bak thing but it hasn't worked.

Please help.
Thanks

Matthew

Try this to fix the other user.

No. Sry but I've already tryed that and had no luck.

Hello Mathew, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Have you already done a System Restore using a restore point dated before this problem began?

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Ok i'll try that and get back to you

 

[Matthew Riddel]

No, System Restore didn't seem to do the trick after all. What do I do now???

Please, help...

If both tutorials posted above did not help, then it's time for a clean reinstall of Vista. I would backup anything you do not want to lose.

Sorry,
Shawn

Thanks for your help. Thats probably what I'll have to do.

Your welcome Matthew. I'm sorry if that turns out to be the case.
