Corrupt Local File

Hi Lenny,

Logon as administrator, create a new profile, then copy your old one into
it. In general, you cannot recover a corrupt profile.

How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811151

To access the default administrator account:

In WinXP Pro, hit ctrl+alt+delete twice at the logon screen and type it in.

In WinXP Home, you must restart and enter Safe mode by hitting F8 at
startup. The administrator logon will be one of the options.

But I can't log on. Can I do this from Safe Mode?

Thanks,

There is something wrong with the .NET Passport sign in. It won't let me in,
and it won't allow me to establish a new account. I would like to see the KB
