Login and immediate logout

munnik · Apr 19, 2009

When I try to login to my laptop I briefly see the login process, then a black screen with only the mouse pointer and then I'm logged out again.

I can't do this because there is only 1 user on the system:
When you try to log on to a Windows Vista-based computer, you briefly receive a "Welcome" message, and then you are logged off

I also tried the solutions for XP but those also don't work. How can I find out what is really happing and going wrong?

Which files do I need to check?

Check your User Account and make sure that you have the right permissions checked and also your password.

There is no way to check the permission because there is no way to login. There is only one account on the laptop.

Hi munnik,

First Can you log in in safe mode? If so you should be able to create a new user for testing purposes from there.

If you can log into safe mode , It would suggest that some start up program or driver is causing the issue - if this is the case, in safe mode, use msconfig.exe to temporarily stop these starting and then you can re-enable each item one at a time until you cannot start, thus isolating the offending item.
