The idea of buying a Mac that is.
Came home after a hard day of dragging the S.O. from store to store to buy all of the stupid stuff things she wants to get for domestic life, and found that I could not log into MY side of the new computer. ( I set the machine up with me as an adminstrator and the S.O. as a mere user-it will be a cold day in Hades before she gets adminstrator rights on any machine my stuff goes into…). Direct from the mouth of Satan Bill Gates came the following words: “The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.”
WTF?
Thankfully, thanks to Google I discovered I am not the only person who has experienced this failure of Mr Gate’s wonderful contraption. The cure however was not so simple and I must express my deep thanks to all the contributers here, who carefully gave me the solution. Which was nonetheless more than a little disconcerting because it involves editing the Windows registry-which I know enough about windows to know is a dangerous undertaking if you do not know what you are doing.
Thankfully I was able to boot in Safe mode and rename my profile-delete the offending temporary profile and fix the S.O.’s as well.
Porn National Geographic pictures probably look better on a Mac any way…………..
