I have Vista Home Prem, 32bit.I am trying to create a second Administrator account and every time I do and try to logon to that account I get error: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded. This is not associated to the KB947215 about temp accounts nor is this a corrupt account as described in other posts, these are new accounts I am trying to create. I have tried to create 4 now all with the same results. When the accounts error at logon I made sure to properly delete them, they are nowhere to be found and I didn't simply delete them and reuse the same name. I have tried to create account with and without a password, tried to simply switch user and logoff/logon and restarted the PC before trying to logon to te new account.Additional: how can I access Group Policies in Vista Home or can't I?

I am also having the exact same problem. I have tried adding a new user manually using netplwiz and by going through the control panel. I have tried with passwords, without passwords, standard users, administrators and guests. Nothing works. I am also using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I've also run sfc /scannow and there are no corrupted files. I am really hoping that someone has the fix that will take care of this without having to reset my laptop back to the factory settings.

Ok, I found a fix. It seems that some windows update (for me it looks like sometime in Aug 2009) somehow corrupted the structure of the the default user directories, Which would cause windows to not be able to create a new profile. I found this link on another forum and although his fix didn't directly work for me. It did work indirectly. >> Check this:'Rob Brooks-Bilson's Blog: Fix for Vista's: The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded' (http://www.brooks-bilson.com/blogs/r...nnot-be-loaded) >> The only thing was, that the system would not let me open the directories beyond: c:\users\default\AppData\Local\Application Data and C:\users\default\Local Settings\Application Data What I did instead was to delete the Application Data folder in the first path above and then created a new one. For the second path, I couldn't get past Local Settings so I deleted it and created both the Local Settings Folder and then the Application Data folder. I did all this logged on as the administrator so then I logged off and logged on as the new account that I had created that didn't work before all this and **tadahhh** it worked. Windows created the new profile and everything is working as it should. Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this problem. It's extremely maddening. Jaxon320
