CC issue restarting with temporary user profile

I have run separate virus, etc checks on the cc installer, the cc program itself, the language installer & the uninstaller. I have also run virus, etc checks on explorer.exe - basically anywhere a virus, worm anything could be hidden & found nothing. I admit to being stupid enough to download the above version of CC from filehippo hence running such indepth virus scans.

I unticked everything but the following - Explorer - Temporary Internet Files, history, cookies, recently typed URLs, index.dat files, Last download location.

Firefox - Internet Cache, Internet History, Cookies, Download History, Session

I restarted my computer after running CC (with only explorer & firefox boxes ticked) to find AGAIN that my profile won't load. The computer restarts without issue when I didn't run CC first. I want this fixed. I cannot access my computer at all because of this stupid program.

I have purchased the CC Home version of this program to access the customer support. Hilariously enough I can't access it because I need to verify the email I can't access. Seriously!

I really appreciate any information anyone is able to give.

Hello I really hope someone can help me, I have done a search & can't find anything that relates to the problem I'm currently having.

I have downloaded the latest version of CC & my computer has been playing up since.

I am currently running Vista & I only have 1 account which acts as administrator.

I have run CC twice now. As a general rule I restart the computer. Each time I have done this I have been given a temp user account, Windows states it couldn't load my profile.

I am running CC with the default settings. After the first time it locked me out I was able to regain my user account/profile by restoring the CC back up.

I thought it may have been the Registry that had caused the problem so the second time I ran CC I left the Registry out. The same thing happened again. I managed to stumble across some instructions on the piriform website under Troubleshooting. I had to download a file to access my computer.

So it must be 1 of the ticked boxes in Cleaner. I loathe to run it again in case I can't get in to my account at all.

Are or have other people had this problem? Does anybody know which 'box' the problem may be so I can untick it? It's incredibly unsettling to be locked out of your own account :/

Thanks for any help you are able to give.

My latest service pack for Windows is Security Update for Windows Vista (KB2579686) & Security Update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB2617986) (both) 14/‎10/‎2011, Installation status: Successful. CC - v3. 11. 1550 - I hope this is the information you are looking for, I'm afraid I'm not tech savvy.

My pc is set up as per normal with the operating system on C:\, I also have an external drive but I've had it for a year with no issues in regards to CC.

My profile is locate in Users in (Local Disk) C:\ - there are actually 3 folders in Users Lu, Public & TEMP.

I shut down the computer 3 times, restarted the computer 2 times & even left it off for ten minutes after it loaded the Temp profile each time.

I use AVG Internet Security 2011 & Lavasoft 'Adaware' as security & yes the scans are clean. I make a point of running 'complete system' scans every couple of days as well as the scheduled ones just so I can make sure they're running properly.

Do you clean the registry ?

Do you have the same problem with ALL boxes unticked ?

Hi Alan_B

I have had the same issue running the registry & cleaner together & separately,

Because I am unable to use my computer properly I can't test the 'ALL boxes unticked' theory.

Thank you for your suggestions

Perhaps you have registry problems that prevent you from unticking all the boxes.

Try the Portable version which is not subject to the vagaries of the registry.
