windows can't load desktop theme, it switches to the default one

Hi,

when I logged on my vps, the following errors are shown in the event viewer:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event ID: 9003

The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because a composited theme is not in use.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event ID: 1505

Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system.

DETAIL - Access is denied

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I can't see my previous desktop.
How can I fix this?

I didn't do anything. It just stopped working.
I see black desktop with 2 icons. computer and recycle bin.
My changes on the desktop icons always lost.

Thanks.

because it says, Access is Denied, you may have gotten one of those "fake" anti-viruses, that "hide" all your icons..

are you running a "virtual private server" on a windows 2008 server?

Do you log in from OFF-SITE or are you looging into the server console directly.

let me know
