the first problem was caused by deleting the new folder named Documents
and Settings (which contains all the new user profiles), and restoring
an old folder with the same name containing old user profiles with old
security IDs, that do not match the new security IDs of the new user
profiles / user accounts. any time you create a new user account / user
profile, it gets a new Security ID, even if the account/profile name is
the same as an old deleted one.
sorry i am not sure how to fix the first problem. or the second problem
either, regarding " A recently installed program has disable the welcome
sceen and fast user switching. To restore these features, you must
uninstall the program. The following file name might help you identify
the program that made the change: ginamsi.dll "
you might try deleting all your accounts (except 1 admin account)
because the SIDs in the registry do not match the SIDs of the old
profiles you restored. Then recreate all the accounts again, and log
into each one, so new profiles with matching SIDs will be created. Then
use your old backup, but do not restore the folder named Documents and
Settings or it's subfolders (user profile folders belonging to old
accounts). Only restore the non-hidden subfolders named My Documents,
Favorites, Cookies, Desktop, etc. which are inside each user profile
folder. this is based on my understanding of how things operate, but
not based on any experience recovering from a mistake like this.
