Help!!!
I have a Windows 2000 Server. I was loading software for the cheapest Chinese digital camera you have ever seen in your life. It gave me a strange error about could not copy the driver files because of "access denied". (I was logged on as myself, a regular user). Also, for the first time, my eTrust antivirus popped up and said it had just found the Win32/Looked!INI virus. Then, the installer said it could not copy driver files because my account was locked out. (strange)
So I went to log off and log back on as Administrator so I could continue installing the drivers for the camera.
It took a long time to log off and when I tried to log back on it gave the following error
"Windows cannot log you on because the profile cannot be loaded. DETAIL - Access is denied".
Event log shows errors number 1000 (account currently disabled, which it isn't), 1000 (Windows cannot unload your registry class file) ,1000 (Access is denied) and 1000 (RegLoadKey failed)
I looked on the Internet and saw this can be caused by a corrupted profile. So I downloaded and installed Microsoft User Profile Hive cleanup utility and rebooted.
Now I can log in, but NONE of my files are there. My Documents and my Desktop folders are empty. WTH!!!!!!!!!!!
WHen I open My computer and go into Documents and Settings, I see that Windows has created a NEW folder for me, a.k.a. "username.COMPUTERNAME" whereas all of my files are in just "username".
How can I fix my computer so that I can log into my regular profile and get all of my files back???
Also, is this related to the virus and if so, did i get this virus from the camera installation CD?
