"User cannot be loaded" error

Hello -
Just installed v8 upgrade from v7 - had some initial trouble with the installation, but after going thru the lengthy solution posted by Parallels of deleting previous components thru the Terminal, finally installed.

However, when I get to my logon screen/password, I get the following error after entering my password: "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded"

From there, Windows 7 logs off and reloads the same screen - with the same error.

Any suggestions?

 

Found a solution on the Microsoft website involving booting in Safe Mode and RegEdit:

You receive "The User Profile Service failed the logon error message
