Recently my computer was freezing a lot and I had to shut it down (from the turn on/off button) and I know this is bad.
Yesterday I shut it down like this then I tried to turn it on it didn't load past the "Welcome'' screen and after some time it loaded and a message showed ''You have been logged in with a temporary profile. You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off". I tried to log-in in save mode but it did the same thing.

I was going to try ''Repair user account'' to see if it works but i can't see the ''ntuser.ini'' file? (This is about trying to copy the the files from the old account to a new one). And there are 2 ntuser.dat files one is called ntuser1.dat and the other is ntuser2.dat (or something like this) and I don't know which one to copy. Also i tried to copy all the files but it said there's not enough space.

I read some things and it said there is either not any solution or there were some things that worked for SOME people but I'm not very good at computers and in these solutions it said to delete some thing but I'm scared to lose some things in my old account or to ruin my computer!

When I log in the new account i created or when in the temporary account I CAN'T connect to internet.My internet is with cable and before when i start my computer i was clicking on the connections icon (in the right corner of start menu) and then i would click to connect. I had 2 option one is my internet provider and the other said ''unidentified network'' (this one was always connected but i didn't have internet i need to connect to the my internet provider name. But now when i click on it the only one that shows is the ''unidentified network'' which now says ''no internet access''

How can I repair this? If I have lost my user account now does that mean I need to call my internet provider to come and install the internet connection again?
- I'm using Vista

Can someone please help me, I'm not advanced in computers and sorry for my bad English.

Then...........


Running a system restore from there.

Or create a new admin profile from the safemode with command prompt with these command's.

Type each command below hitting enter after each one.

net user test /add
net localgroup administrators test /add
Exit

Well I would at this point have my machine checked out by the malware team here is a link.

Follow the steps here.

Then start a new thread with the link below.

Also you might consider giving your machine a good cleaning with canned air if you never have before.

Unplug the tower open up the side.Get can of compressed air and blow out the machine and reseat the ram modules video card etc,see video Plug it back in and see how it goes.WHILE YOU HAVE THE RAM AND VIDEO CARD OUT BLOW OUT THE SLOTS THAT THEY PLUG INTO.ALSO BLOW OUT THE HEAT SINK.SEE VIDEO



Good luck with your machine. :)
