Vista Update Help:"The User Profile Service service failed the log

[Guest oldskewltech]

John Bailey and rabbaa,

 

Thanx for the posts, it helped me out of the same issue. I was able to

 

correct it with John's original post and rabbaa's corrected path. I

 

hope no one minds that I combined everything into this reply for ease of

 

access to anyone else who needs it. I also had to go in through safe

 

mode to correct this. I take no credit for this fix.

 

 

 

Log on with another administrator profile.

 

Execute regedit

 

Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

 

NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\

 

Go through the profiles to find yours. You can use the ProfileImagePath

 

to

 

identify your profile

 

The key to your profile may have a ".bak" appended to it. There will be

 

another identical key except for the bak. Rename this key and rename

 

yours

 

removing the ".bak"

 

Change the State property to 0.

 

 

 

Log off and retry logging on with your profile. It should now work.
