URGENT blank screen when switching users/logging in

Hi, i've been searching for a fix to my problem with no success, so i came here.
I have windows vista home premium x64, its a fairly new computer - not even one year old.
it has 12gb of RAM, and the i7 core processor - i dont think its much useful to my problem, but here it is:

Logging off/Switching users takes forever, sometimes the screen just goes blank and stays there.
When it does work, i cannot login again properly - Only my desktop backround is shown (No sidebar, no desktop icons, no start menu etc)
The computer will not fully come out of sleep mode (Sleep mode isnt even set to on, yet screen shuts down anyway) - again only background is shown when i try to wake it up
Ctrl+Alt+Del in this state brings up a blank screen yet again, but i know that the menu is there (Sounds)
Of course there are other problems, but i dont think they are related (USB ports stop working)
If ANYONE has a similiar problem or knows how to resolve myissue, please contact me
thank you

sooo uhhh i feel dumb...
somehow, someone got into playing with my display settings, and my monitor would become the "second monitor" if you know what i mean.
Soooo all my stuff was shown on the first monitor, and then extended to my second (yet only) monitor.
I fixed my problem through the display settings, and my monitors options.
Thanks for the suggestions :)
