One way of doing it is to restore your PC by using the Recently created Restore Point, and other one (that i would suggest) is to create a new user profile and migrate your data from old profile to the newer one .... The link below illustrates how you can recover without compromising the stuff in the corrupted profile !! Check the link below to see how to accomplish it

If its malware infected, then possibly the portable hard drive is causing the issue
Failing hardware such as dying Hard Drive and RAM failures can cause the issue too !! But to confirm it, create a new user profile, and check if it runs fine... If yes, then rule out the possibility of any hardware failure !!
could be something simple like you attempted to logon to your computer using a online windows account and your access to the internet was down at that time. if you are using a local logon your profile is in a relative path, if you add another drive and it has a copy of windows, then you might have two accounts with the same name but different SIDs (secruity identifiesrs)
By default, the profile resides in the following location:%SystemDrive%\Users\UserName
%systemdrive% is a enviroment variable that will point to drive that where your windows root is located.
that is, i f you have a copy of windows on drive c: but boot with a copy on drive d: but %systemdrive% is set to drive c
then windows will boot from drive D as a windows root, it will validate the username from the user database on on drive d
but when it goes to look up your user profile it will go to drive c: and find the profile there but the SID will not match the user SID and you
should be prevented from loading the profile.

i followed that first link and it has not made any difference now my admin profile main profile and second profile all look the same to be honest im gunna very confused and im hoping i can get it back because i have alot of things on my harddrive and i reallly do not want to start from scratch. also every time i log in to any profiles is tells me that is needs to fix disk errors
