How to Get a Game Profile for Viva Pinata

Viva Pinata for the Xbox 360 saves your game under your gamertag profile, but the PC version of the game must create a separate profile. The game prompts you to press the "HOME" key to create a profile, but on some computers the process fails and you cannot save your game. To create a profile, you must delete certain system files and reboot your computer.
