Rahh. I've been having this problem for like a couple of weeks
now, but I was too lazy to fix it. So here's what's
happening:
One day when I switched on my computer and attempted to log in to
my user account, Windows gave me a strange error message:
Windows cannot load locally stored profile.
When I logged in, I suspect they gave me a temp account to log into
because all settings were gone and all my files weren't in My
Documents (but can be retrieved through C:/Documents & Settings
that route).
One very prominent problem is the keyboard configuration.
Something's wrong and if you attempt to type @, you get " and
viceversa. This has been happening for sometime in another user,
but that was quite obselete, so we didn't really care until it
happened to my user together with the corrupt user thing.
What I did:
1. A quick Google of the error message brought me to Window's
official support website, and I did as told, but nothing
changed.
2. I backed up all my files on an external harddrive.
3. I tried Googling the @ becomes " problem, but since both are
symbols, results were limited. Some brought me to forums on which
people also had that problem, but no one really knew what to do
about it.
4. I tried deleting my old user, creating a new user using the
accounts which are fine, but the new account made also had the same
@ becomes " problem. This however,has not been happening to my
other accounts.
GOT PROBLEM! I'm very sad.
Can someone help?
