Having an issue with my computer: it is suddenly telling me that my user profile cannot be authenticated so I cannot log on. What can I do?

You turn on the computer and instead of showing my user profile it says user profile service failed the log on.

Does anyone have suggestions for a relatively inexpensive set of speakers for use with an old 80G iPod? Preferable that isn't battery-powered? My old OLD speakers are finally dying.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I misread that as sneakers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am going to take some online computer classes to acquire some more cutting-edge computer skills. Like C# and maybe MS SQL SSAS and SSIS or more .NET stuff. Anyone have recommendations for online computer class sites?

Still wrestling with my user profile service not logging in problem: one of the suggested solutions is to restore my computer to a previous state, however, I don't have a set restoration point. Is that something I should be able to do now? In safe mode?

I am sure that one of the complications I have is that I am the owner/admin for the laptop and therefore it is the admin profile that isn't being logged in.

Thanks!
