CA3LE Posted November 23, 2006 CID Share Posted November 23, 2006 Has anyone heard of this ever? I went to log into my office PC and ALL my personal settings were GONE. Another account I have on the computer is fine, but my account is basically like a fresh install. All the way down to the media player options have been reset. It's very wierd and really lame, luckily I store all my (my documents) files on a fileserver that is shared between all my computers and none of that was lost. I didn't even notice the problem until I went to login via remote desktop, I thought at first that the remote desktop was just showing me a messed up desktop and I thought that when I went to login in person it would be fine... well, I logged into the computer in person and yep, it was all gone. I'm not even going to mess with it at all, I figure Vista is out really soon so I'll just install Vista and forget about it... but has anyone else had this happen or have you heard about it happening. AWWWWW MAN, is Vista really coming out on January 30th 2007? Lame, I was hoping it would come out for Christmas this year... stupid ass Microsoft, lol.

tommie gorman Posted November 23, 2006 CID Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yeah if they had been quick enough, they could have gotten some extra money like the PS3's are bringing. But it will still all be good in the end. Sorry to hear the dilemma. Glad it was not real important. Hope we find out what might have happened. And I hope I never have it happen to me. *crosses fingers, toes, legs, and arms* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted November 23, 2006 CID Share Posted November 23, 2006 that really blows... The only thing that I could think of would be if the environmental variables changed some how.. And yes vista's release date does suck the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted November 23, 2006 CID Share Posted November 23, 2006 its a registry problem, thats one of the thing that happens when a section in the registry gets corrupt. methinks thats why you back up your registry along with your files?

CA3LE Posted November 28, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 28, 2006 what's funny is a couple of days after I posted that.. it all magically went back to normal. After about 5 reboots it just went back to normal one day. Oh well, I guess I'll never know why it happened I can't wait for vista! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a registry thing, it went to a backup of the registry, it just happen to take a few reboots to reaslize that there is a backup there.

ghostmaster Posted November 28, 2006 CID Share Posted November 28, 2006 Do you log into a domain? If so, most of the time it's a network connectivity problem. We have that happen sporatically, and we usually just readd the computer to the domain and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
