i am having some strange problem logging.
the computer is split into 3 useres, one being mine.
when i try to log on, it loads up the background image, but thats as far as
it gets.
however, *this is the strange bit) if i then press control alt del and use
the tsak manager to log back off, and then log on another account, and log
off that n then back on mine again, it works completly. this is most strange,
and i really hope someone can help. anyone?

What happens if you log off and instead of trying a different account, try
logging on to yours again? Since other profiles load okay, I suspect (but
don't know without seeing the system firsthand) that there is a problem
with what's allowed to run at startup in your profile. Most likely a
program (will be listed on the MSCONFIG | Startup page) or a service
associated with a startup program.
