Hi,

I've got following problem:
When logging in, i got the message that my user profile is damaged or not existend. In the next dialog it's said that a temporary profile will be created, after that a window "Advanced INF Install" appears in which it is said "%Remove_NoDir_Error%". After that all my configuration, personal files, E-Mail-Accounts... are not available anymore.
My complete profile is destroyed, pleas help me.


 
hi,

This is a very frequesnt problem of certain build of WindowsXP Pro. Ms has released fix for this but still the problem pertains.

If you have installed any software or took system restore chempoint you can restore your profile using system restore from admin account.

system restore is the only option for this.

If you encounter this problem frequently, swith to win2k Pro instead.

There appears at first glance to be two errors going on here, one with perhaps messenger or similar program you have tried to uninstall and one with your profile being corrupted. See if these links help you sort it out. Have you got any of your old profile folders left in Documents and Settings or even the Recycle Bin?

You can have a look at this I haven't a clue if it applies to you.
