i woke up this morning and turned on the pc to find this bullshit. as of now i created a new admin profile and im copy/ pasting all my folders into the new profile, but its taking forever. there has to be a quicker way...
does anyone know why this happened?

well ive been fucking with it off and on today and im just about done. i am a bit worried about completely deleting the old user profile though... the only thing that actually matters on my HDD are the pics so im compressing them and sending them to an email just in case.
this shit sucks...

ummmm, know why WHAT happened? You apparently logged in as temp, couldn't find your original profile, and had to create a new profile as admin, and transfer all your files? Am I following you? I have no idea why that happened

no.
it wont allow me to log into the original user profile cause there are corrupt files so it automatically signs me into a temp profile.

That sucks! I dealt with a similar problem last week. Fixed it by restoring the computer to an earlier restore point. I also found there was malware that had caused the problem in the first place.

yeah, i found some malware too. trojans i guess. found em in a file, testdisk-6.13. thing is, i never download this program. never even heard of it. i did delete the trojans, but i kept the file to do some more research.
side note...
i ran a couple tests last night, malware and avg virus scan, on top of ccleaner, comodo system cleaner, and tweaknow powerpack. the pc should be clean and running smooth as fuck, but its still runnin rough. slow intronet and laggin pc.

You might want to use Kaspersky Rescue Disk. Download it, burn to cd, boot from disk, update virus defs. and run. It isn't fast, but it can check mbr, boot sectors, all partitions on the drive, system files, ect. the Trojan I came across last week was a password hijacker, couldn't log onto the user account as the password no longer worked. maybe you have something like that going on.

System restore, Run all the scans you can and see if problem is resolved.
If everything is stored on a safe drive and it's your only concern do a fresh OS install. Always nice to clean up the machine once in a while.
If it's a good spec pc and lagging then you may have other stuff hiding in the background eating up processing power.

all is good. once i get a new hdd im going to transfer all my important files then dual boot linux mint/ win7. mint will be my primary OS and windows will only be used for the random gaming, which isnt much.
