windows 7 prof. "user profile service failed the logon"

[iron man]

hi guys i keep getting the above mentioned error when i try to log on to a newly created user account. it's a secondary account which i was planning to use to do work in but i can't log in. my current account works fine though

i have read through all the guides on the web about this problem but mine differs slightly.
in the guides they mention going to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

and changing a .BAK file to a normal file.

the problem is that there is no profile at all for this user account, therefore no .bak to change.
my normal profile shows up fine but no matter how many accounts i create, i am unable to logon and the profile does not appear in the profile list mentioned above.
the guide:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html

can anyone help me? i am in desperate need to get this fixed

thanks

ps. i am running a lenovo Y500 laptop. the pc in my sig got stolen but i have no idea how to change it

Delete the newly created user account and recreate it again?

Did you turn off the user account control while creating the profile?

 

[iron man]

no?

Try turning off the user account control before creating the profile
