umm.. i'm kinda having a problem..my computer logged me on a temporary profile, even though i'm the administrator .
and every time i open it a memo would pop up on the lower right of the screen that tells me "you have been logged on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. Please see the event log for details or contact the administrator."
thanks......

I was able to fix this problem on my copy of Vista after deleting c:\users\username.

I had to go into the registry...

hkey_Local_machine\software\microsoft\windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Locate the key(S-1-5...) that had the old profile(C:\users\username) and delete it. Reboot.

Not sure if I would delete the key with the administrator profile.

Your Administrator profile is corrupted and unusable. Try System Restore.
