Vista not loading profile

Recently Vista has not been loading my profile. Instead I get an error message on the task bar telling me that a temporary profile has been loaded for me but nothing will be remembered in it. Occasionaly my profile loads but less and less often. I only have the one profile but a few of us use it. I have run all the suggestions in the clearing Malware sticky and nothing appeared to be found but I can attach the logs if you wish. The only one that would not run properly was RootRepeal, which appeared to get stuck at C:/windows......manifest. I had tried turning off the firewall - COMODO - and virus checker - avast 5.0.418 - but in task manager they still appeared to be running and would not allow me to end the process. MGTools produced all the logs it should and they might be of use.

Can this be fixed or should I give up on Vista and upgrade to Win7 over it?

Thanks for all previous help

You should post this in the Malware removal forum. Usually when a scan won't run, there is a problem and they will fix it with you.:wave:wave
