C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile, Could not connect to group policy

[gamerex]

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. One day, today, I finally got a reliable wireless link by making a sattalite dish out of aluminum foil. I installed some updates, then restarted, but for some reason, windows couldn't find C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile, so all my desktop had was the recycle bin. No Aero, no start menu shortcuts, and a black hole for a wallpaper. It took me awhile to find out that my computer was trying to connect to the host of my wireless. Of course. acess to the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile on the host's computer was denied. So I disabled my wireless and I got my desktop back.

Edit: NVM, seems to happen after entering safe mode???


I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and how I can avoid it in the future.
