I just took my friend's old computer, and everytime it gets to the welcome screen it says, his profile could not be loaded. It says windows will create a temporary profile for him. This is bugging me because I'm not sure what it means, or how to fix it. Please help

Profile corrupted -- Invalid or corrupt files and registry keys can cause applications errors which occur only to you. Look to clear your profile to correct these problems.
Profile Space exceeded -- You need to erase some documents. Start Windows Explorer and look at the C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data to erase large documents. Some applications store huge amounts of data in this directory, you can erase those subdirectories if you do not use the application any longer.
Taken from here.

This might be better answered over at the Operating Systems forum...
