corrupted user profile
After I upgraded to XP from Win98se, I had issues with
the keyboard, unknown device and freezing which I am working on. In the middle of all this, I get a corruped user profile so I went to MS help and support and followed the knowledge base. I created a new user different name and copied all the folders and files including hidden and system to the new user from the corrupted one. Then I deleted the corrupted one but it didn't like that so I readded it with the original name. Now I end up with 3 users and a guest login account. I can delete the only 2 of the users. I think maybe I set it up wrong when I upgraded. How can I start fresh and not lose all my settings? Thanks |
