So basically I was typing my research paper, then Word froze so I restarded. Now all of my files are gone. Before it went to log on a little window popped up sayin something along the lines "Enviroment profile cannot open. It will open temporary enviroment..."

I searched about this in help and I read that if I went to my documents and made a folder called "Default User" the problem would go away. Before I restared I was able to find all of my files in a different folder. But once I restarded EVERYTHING dissappeared. Will I be able to retrieve my lost files? Everything I had written for my research paper was saved under One Note. And now it's all gone. Can someone help me?:'( My paper is due in two days and I'm seriously having a panic attack.

ETA: I was surfing through here and this is exactly what problem I am having but there was no response to this..

Ok, here's the scenario, someone is using Windows XP with the latest patches. it's an IBM t41. User logs on to an Active Directory Domain. the user accounts are Local (not roaming).

The issue is one day the user logs on and he get the following error:

[User Environment]

Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you …

Have you tried booting using last known good?

Yes. It does the same as with the Normal boot. It will show me the windows logo then a black screen and then a blue screena dn restart itself. And I have also tried all of the Safe Modes but it freezes:sad:

Hi everyone! I have a huge problem with my laptop. Well for one I haven't had ANY problems whatsoever since I bought it a yr ago. I was using it yesterday morning, turned it off, and then last night it just wasn't working anymore. The last thing I downloaded was adobe softwares which I needed and tutorials for photoshop. As far as anything else goes, I'm only online to check e-mails. Yesterday and Adobe software update thing was the last thing I dled. And it had asked me to restart, but I chose restart later and that was it. When I turn it on, it shows the screen where I can chose Run Windowns, RUn Safe Mode bla bla, So when I chose Run Normal the Windows logo appears, the screen will go black and then a blue screen appears with the "problem" but it dissappears really fast that I can't read it, then it restarts all over again. I'm really frustrated because non of the safe modes work, they freeze half way. and I'm afraid I may lose all of my work. Someone help me pretty please!!!!:sad:

Thanks
