After I switch on and select my administrator account I am receiving a message telling me there is no profile logon. I cannot use admin account. WHY ? Never had this problem before. I have one other account - my son's, which I can use, but, all my files are in the admin account. PLEASE HELP !!!!

Ok,
First you need to create a new admin account, then you need to transfer the files from your old account to your new one...

1. Copy the documents, desktop and favourites folders normaly located at C:\Users\oldusername
(replace "oldusername" with the username of the old admin account) to your new accounts desktop.

2. Then open C:\Users\newusername (replace "newusername" with the username of the new admin account) then move all the files copied to your desktop into the opened folder.

That should be it :-) you can delete the old account after you have checked everything is working.
Thanks.
