    but there is no one else on the computer at the time, the other accounts are for my son and nephew and are inactive at the time. can this still be a corrupt profile? thanks for input.

    can this still be the case if the other accounts are inactive at the time?

    Yes - I would think so. Easy enough to create a new profile and test.
