This is the third time I have ran into the problem, “the user profile service – service failed the logon. User profile cannot be logon”. The second time with my computer and once for my mothers. When I first ran into to this problem found a site that shows you how to fix it ( > here if you are looking) thought it looked way to complicated. Going into the Registry can look scary. When this problem happened again to day it was a very quick and easy fix. Still not sure why this happens but its a pain. I can see if some one who doesn’t know much about computers this could scary them.

My computer run Vista Home Premium. Have three user accounts. On is the admin, one for my mother and the one I use. That is the one I was have a problem with. When I clicked on it, it said, “the user profile service – service failed the logon. User profile cannot be logon”. Never seen that before and had know idea how to fix it. First I did what fixes most problems, restart the computer. That didn’t work. So it is Google to the rescue. Found the fix fast enough > here. To fix this user profile I had to edit the Registry. Not a fan of messing with the Registry because it is very easy to mess things up. But after reading the steps it was very simple. Just looks confusing. The basics of the fix is, remain two folder then change two numbers in two of the file in one of the folders you just renamed. Did that and it worked like a charm.
