I tried to log on to my computer after a few days' absence, and when I
attempted to log in, I got some message that said that my user profile could
not load because of a corrupted file or some Microsoft error. Now I can't
access my saved word-processing documents, or anything else that was saved
under my account. How can I get everything back to normal???

Thanks!
