>With XP I recall seeing some cases where a user profile would fail to load, either at boot or at logon. There would usually be a message to that effect, that the profile failed to load and a temporary one was in use. I think I've seen that a couple of times with Win7 as well. Every case I can recall, the problem was fixed simply by restarting the computer. The worst thing someone could do in that state would be to continue to work, or install software or Windows updates.

I have restarted about 40 times since then. So, it might related but with a slight difference I guess.

My profile might be corrupted. However, other than bouncing off to D: drive all the settings, all the rest is ok.
