CAUSE
The %SystemRoot% folder, and possibly its subfolders, has had READ
permission for the Everyone group removed. If the permission has been
removed from the %SystemRoot% folder only, you will get the blank screen
symptom. If the subfolders do not have the READ permission, you receive
the "Cannot load profile" error message.
This error may also occur if "Read" permission has been removed for the
root of the system partition.
RESOLUTION
Restore "Read" permissions for the Everyone group to the Windows_folder
folder and all its subfolders.
