User profile service has stopped working

[nirad]

I have a T61 that came with Vista installed, and which I upgraded to SP1. Lately, i get the following message every couple of days: "User Profile Service has stopped working"

Problem signature:

I know what the user profile service does, but I have no idea why it would crash. A Google search has turned up some other people with the problem, but no solutions. Has anyone else with a T61 or other Thinkpad experience this problem? I found nothing in the Microsoft knowledgebase.

I have Vista Business 64-Bit running on a T61p and no issue like that. I could not find anything either. Call Microsoft - they are offering both SP1 support and small business support. You can start an email case, and they will assist. ... JDH

Hi Nirad,
I had exactly the same problem and I was about to format my computer when a friend pointed me to this forum:
