    Prolem logging in - user profile system failed!
    I have looked up on Vista website how to fix the problem of not being able to log in! I have gone to "regedit" and found something I need to rename at;

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    BUT... all it says on vista site is to rename a file with ".bk" on the end... however, my comp won't let me! It just says "cannot rename entry". I have gone into permissions when trying to rename but can't find any thing that is denying me access?

    Does anyone have any ideas of how to solve this. So far I can use my separate login but everything is on my main admin user account that I can't get on!

    Thanks, Ste.
