Corrupt User Profile, Help please

[Anonymous]

Ok... let me preface this by saying that I probably did something stupid and shame on me. I installed SQL Express on my local machine just to see what the damage would be to try and run vault locally instead of booger up the SBS 2003 installation. Well, installed it thought I had set things up properly, fired up C3D 2008 and it gave me quite a few errors, so I repaired the program, seemed to work. Haven't had a chance to mess with vault anymore since then and today while trying to do something with it I decided to give up on the whole local machine thing and uninstalled SQL from my machine, again, C3D blew up, tried repairing to no avail, tried reinstalling to no avail. All of the files associated with 08 from everywhere I could find it on my computer and reinstalled once again. Now when I fire it up I get a warning message that states "Unable to load profile file. Some profile information saved in the last session may not be restored" but none of the other errors that I was getting earlier. Any clues on what I need to do to resolve this?

Thanks for any help.

When you do an uninstall, you should be sure to also clean your registry of the Autodesk entries. Go to Autodesk.com, find search and search for TS45252. That tech doc will tell you how to clean the registry. If you uninstall, delete the program folders that are left over, and clean the registry, the re-install should be successful.
