My friend's computer is not letting her log in saying something about insufficient resources and not being smart with a computer, she only has one profile (i know right). We got her a whole new laptop and everything but she needs files on the hard drive of the other laptop. Is there a way to make a new profile without having to log in? or simply take the files off the other hard drive and skip loading what ever could be the problem?she really needs the documents, so reinstalling the OS is a big no no.1 person needs an answerI do too

The quickest way to get your files would be to boot your old laptop from a system on a CD. Then you could back up whatever files you need to a USB drive or using the network. My personal favorite disk is a free Live Linux disk such as Knoppix. Creating this disk is as simple as downloading a .iso file and using a CD Burning program's "Burn Image" option to create a bootable disk. Other free CD options include a Windows "Bart PE" disk or "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" disk but these require a Windows Install disk and a build procedure.Knoppix: < http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html >Bart PE: < http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ >Ultimate Boot CD: <http://www.ubcd4win.com/ >HTH, JW
