After upgrading to SP1 I can't log on my user account.

Posted: 04-17-2008, 04:29 PM
I upgraded to SP1 yesterday, via Windows Update. Did my laptop first,
everything worked fine, no errors and both user accounts can log in just fine.

On my desktop computer I did the same, SP1 got installed without any
problems at all. After the mandatory reboot I tried logging in to the only
useraccount and got a message saying "Welcome", then it immediately switches
to "Logging off..." then dumps me right back at the login screen.

Tried Last Known Good Configuration, didn't work.
Got in with Safe Mode and created another account. That account works fine
and I can log in again. However, It's a hassle to move over all files, set
everything up the way I like it and so I'd really like to get my primary
login working again.

Checked the settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

My old account has the same settings as the new one. Both are "active"
(checked with net user <username>).

Any ideas?
