I have no idea what is wrong.

I logged on this evening and it comes up with an error message when trying to load Windows, saying it can't load up my local profile. It will only load a temporary one. I don't have any of my settings and can't get to my documents/pictures.

My broadband IS working, but I am not on Internet explorer anymore - it has brought up msn, and I had to log into MSN in order to do so.

What can I do to rescue my computer?

Sounds like your profile is corrupt. Your profile is in C:\Documents and settings \your name. All your documents will be in their in a folder called My documents.

Other ssettings you may have to resetup tbh.

HTH
