creating new user accounts

i have recently upgraded from Xp-pro to Vista. The thing i have noted in vista is that for each new user account i now creat i just cannot log on. Instead i keep on getting the error message -User account Service services failed to load the user profile. This has happened on both standard and admin accounts created. So other than my old account inherited from xpro i am stuck. Any suggestions vista mates? -- M#3

Have not tried adding extra user accounts but I used the following instructions to add a full admin account. (the default user admin account does not have full control).
Log in as Full Administrator
Quote 1) Click the Start orb and click on Run (or press the Windows key + R) 2) Type in regedit and press OK. If it asks you to open this via UAP, then click Allow. 3) In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. 4) In the right hand pane, right click the mouse and select New then Key. A new folder should appear in the left hand pane. 5) Name this new key SpecialAccounts and press Enter. 6) Right click the mouse on the new SpecialAccounts key in the left hand pane, select New then Key again to make a "sub-key". 7) Name this new key UserList and then press Enter. In this new UserList key, right click in the right hand pane and select New then DWORD (32-bit) and name this Administrator then press Enter. 8) Double click on the new DWORD you just made, and set the value to 1 then press OK.
9. In the Run box type: control userpasswords2
10. Advanced -> Advanced (Local Users and Groups) -> Users
11. Doubleclick Administrator and uncheck "Account is disabled". EndQuote

Well, what I suggest if you can't sort it is just to reinstall maybe?
