the other night my monitor broke down, it like jus shows whiteness and a fliker of the screen, so it needs replacing (trust me, nothing wring wit how it's plugged in and shit or adjusting the controls, ive tried everythin) until then i put my old crappy monitor back in.

now i have problems. the resoloutino wont go past 600x800 and when i swuitched it on, it said my profile wasnt worknig on it was loading  a temp profile or something, ive lost all my programs, music and it feels like everything has been rest. im the only user on this pc. dunno what's happening. anyway, can y'all help?

im getting a new monitor tomoro or on monday if shops r closed but i need this fixed ASAP

It sounds like there's more than just a faulty monitor here: sounds like the PC itself is having trouble.

i know that. how can i fix it?

do you have an external graphics card..
it may the faulty thing...

Sounds like you either lost your graphics card drivers, or your graphics card is shot also.

It sounds like your Windows user profile is corrupted.  It could have happend when you turned your computer off after the monitor went bad, or if you bumped it the wrong way while replacing the monitor with the computer running.

The corrupted profile is probably not coming back, but you should be able to find it (and hopefully most of your files) under the C:\Documents and Settings\ folder.  Make a new user account and copy everything you can from the old one.  You will need to redo settings of most programs manually, but there is a very good chance all your files will be intact.

If you receive an "access denied" error while browsing the old profile, you may have to take ownership of those folders as described here. 

yeaaah boy that's hat happened, u got it right on the dot there. one nmore thing, how do i delete the old account so i just have one account?

Start -> Run -> lusrmgr.msc -- that will let you delete the account.  It will not delete any portion of the profile. 

After you are done moving/copying files, right click on "My Computer", choose Properties, Advanced, User Profiles.  If you have deleted the account before then or if the corruption prevents the profile from being identified, you may see it listed as only a long string of numbers -- select it and click the Delete button.

thanx mate, this helped solve evverythin, jus need to get a better monitor now, pure havin to gaze a everythin coz its small, if i enlarge it, its too big

dude, i'm not trying to troll or whatever.. but maybe its time for a new pc.. you've been having problems with tons of shit.
