    I dunno what happened. I was logging in as an admin and it said something like "setting up your desktop." whle it was doing that, I hit the power button and it went to sleep.

    Now my admin profile won't load. It keeps saying "error logging in." I can still login into my guest account.

    What should I do?????

    Have you tried going into safe mode? Usually safe mode will present you with all of the log in profiles. There is a default admin which you must have been logging in as, which was why it started creating a desktop etc. But that is no big problem. You probably wanted to login as your regular profile (which is also an admin) From safe mode you should be able to rectify the problem.

    no no, my admin profile is the profile I always use to logon. But yea, logging in in safe mode as an admin worked and it said "restoring desktop" again and logged in successfully. But then I restarted, tried logging in again in normal mode and it still won't log in.

    any suggestions? should I try a system restore?

    edit - O nvm, I understood what u said about the default admin thing. but I need to login in to my profile that I normally use.

    ok, nvm. I figured it out. I went to safemode with networking (although I wasn't sure If that was safe or not since I'm sure safemode isn't secured at all since nothing is running) and googled it. I had to change some stuff in my registry.

    edit - I posted before on my dads laptop but then he took it with him o_O
