As of a few days ago every time I start my laptop up it says that my profile couldn't be loaded and it starts up as a temporary user. This means I cant get to any of my files and I lose anything I save every time I turn the laptop off.

Anybody have any idea of whats up and how I can go about fixing it/restoring my previous settings? By checking the amount of disc space I know that all my files/photos etc are still there as its still showing the same amount of free space.

Any help appreciated as I'm a bit out of my depth.
