Hi,

My PC will no longer make a profile for a new account.
I can create a new account either from "User Accounts" or from Computer
Management.
The account gets created, but there is no user directory in C:\Documents
and Settings directory. This is where the "All Users" and my one working
account user profiles are.

When I log in with the new account name, I get an error and an event log
entry:
----------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1500

Computer: HOME-HA........ <deleted>
Description:
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check
that you are connected to the network, or that your network is
functioning correctly. If this problem persists, contact your network
administrator.

 DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.

I have been running WinXP Pro on my home PC for more than a year. About
two months ago, I deleted some old acccounts I did not need. I also
created a new administrator account - successfully.
Then, I wanted to create some new user accounts, and hit this problem.
Please note - I was able to create my earlier accounts and my one
current account this way. Windows created user profiles automatically to
make it work. Now, it does not create them anywhere.

Please help!
