Well, NEVER TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER WORNG!!!

I never learn my lesson. I had 2 profile crouptions, the 1st time, I didn't have system restore on and the 2nd time the system restore is on.

It's horrifying... It takes alot of time and effort to restore a croupted profile. (well, especially.) I had to use a alot of steps to slove the problem. If none of those works, I have to create a new username on my own computer (well, it's took long enough to copy all the files from the old My Dcuments) Well, never, ever turn off your computer because the data that isn't saved on the harddrive will be lost and it can croupt your data on your harddrive and also can lead to harddrive crouption. If your system files get croupted, you are a gonner. Then you will have to reinstall the whole operating system and it can get a pain in a neck..

Don't turn off your computer worng, use shut down on the start menu.

Edit: Success!!! I was lucky (thanks to safe mode...) !


Omigosh, it's the return of Ashley... =o

Your hard drive(s) should be NTFS if you're in Windows XP. That is a journaling format, so even if I pulled the plug on my PC right now, it'd be fine. I wouldn't have to do scan disk when I rebooted. NTFS is also less prone to fragmentation and is a little faster. You an change file systems on the fly, without formatting. I suggest you switch to NTFS if you are not already using it.


It's always wise to have a burner of some kind and back up all your data; not OS, but data weekly or at least monthly. Oh, and it's spelled corrupt. ^_^;;

I see that... AOL is a bad and evil program.. It can damage the whole operating system because it's buggy... maybe I should revert back to 7.0 and get out of this problem.. (mainly, chkdsk will not work correctly when the system shut down improperly)

9.0 optimised is EVIL!!!!

You need to get more memory then If it crashes too much. Windows XP should always run on atleast 128 MB. 64 will cause it to slow down or even crash.

Windows 98 and Me is a nightmare... I get a blue screen every time I do something advanced.... like making art in a program or going on the internet... :o... it takes time away from me to reboot... no more problems of that. Windows XP solved that problem but arose new problems since I shut down my computer worng. Once I get a another stick of memory, it will be faster to shut down/

It sounds like something in Windows XP became corrupt and caused this. Have you tried a dirty reinstall of Windows XP? A dirty reinstall is basically poping in the install CD while windows is running, selecting the upgrade option, and upgrading your PC to WinXP. Do you have SP1 installed? You might (my CD installs XP SP1 so I never checked) have to reinstall it after the dirty install.

Also, would you tell me the specs on your system? I think there might be a hardware issue. E.g. Loose cable, improperly seated graphics card, cheaply made power supply unit, etc.

I pulled the plug on my computer and nothing happened, but that doesnt mean that anyone should do that to shut the computer off.

I can do that and it shouldn't damage it (even through NTFS is designed to cope with this situation, that doesn't mean you should try it!) however it can do alot of damage to your computer.

Meh. I prefer not to user Windows XP. or did I decide to use Virtual PC for long term use. I decided to just work on my Mac. Not for everything though...
I turned Hard Drive Journaling on (although it should be on if you get Mac OS X Panther).
Surprise such feature exists in Mac OS X Jaguar...
I won't stand data loss.
NTFS was designed with that feature built in. All Windows NT based PCs (E.g. 2000, XP) that run NTFS instead of FAT32 have it.

My computer won't chkdsk automatically when it shuts down the computer improperly.. It's becoming a big problem, though.
