Hi, ·Which is the user account you have logged in currently?·When you mention “admin account” are you referring to the default administrator account? Or is it the administrator account you have created? Search for User folder in the below location:C:\Documents and settings\Users folder If in User folder you find the administrator account, then you may have to create a new user account and transfer the files and documents to the new location Refer the below link for steps: How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile in Windows XP:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151 Regards:Samhrutha G S - Microsoft Support.Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
