Hi, I would like to confirm what error is received. Can you log on the computer now? This issue may occur if the user profile is corrupted. Please create a new account and check if the error persists: Create a new user account ==================== 1. Click the Start Button, type User Accounts in the start search pane and press Enter. 2. Click Manage user accounts. 3. Click Create a new account, and type the name. 4. Choose account type as Computer administrator. 5. Click Create Account. 6. Log off and log on with the new account. Hope it helps.Vivian Xing - MSFT

I'm getting the exact same error in the event log after logging out of a user account in Windows 7 starter, and logging back in using a different account. The first login after reboot on any user account is successful. The second login always receives this error. This effectively requires a restart when switching user accounts. Any suggestions? Thanks, Craig

I'm also getting the same error. Can anyone help us?
