Off late we've had problems sporadically when signing on.
When I sign in, after "welcome" it comes up with "preparing your desktop". Then I have a little box on the bottom corner that says "your user profile was not loaded properly".
When this happens you have no access to any saved files or settings. The only way I've found to get around it is to restart the computer.
The last two days it has happened when the computer has been 'sleeping' all night and I sign on in the morning - have to restart it to make it work right.
Any suggestions?
