welcome screen login

a quick work around:

logon to the computer with the administrator account, go to the c:\users
directory, rename the "corrupt account" c:\users\<old account> "I would just
add a .org to the end of the directory, log off the administrator account,
login with your old corrupt user account, Vista should create a new account.

After your able to login with your user account, log off, login with the
administrator account again, go to c:\users\<old account>.org, and copy all
your files and setting over to your newly created account. Not all setting
will move, but you should be able to get 99% of everything (favs, music,
downloads, documents).
