Adding a 'guest user' profile fails.!

Recommended Posts

I normally run W2K from the sole admin profile on my pc as security issues are massively overatted, especially for a home user. But recently when I decided to add another user profile (Restricted user) Upon boot up under the new user name I receive an error message that states "Unable to log you in, an error has occured Please contact your Administrator [unable to locate some file]

How is this possible? Anyone have a way of fixing this bar re-installing?

 

Cheers.

This could be a number of different things. Please look in Event Viewer for errors that occur at the time of the unsuccessful logon attempt (both the system and apps logs). Let us know what errors you find there, in detail. I'm suspecting you'll see Event ID 1000 errors in there, but there are lots of other possibilities. You didn't change any

EVERYONE permissions, like on the profiles folder under the system root, did you? Other stuff I know of that causes this behavior is freespace problems on the system partition, registry size exceeding max allowed, corrupted profiles, etc.
