Can't log on to windows

    OS: Win XP Home

    About 2 weeks ago I did a fresh reinstall of windows. For the most part everythig appeared to be OK after the reinstall, however, some definite and horrible slow down was noticible once or twice during the inital log on, i.e. loading the personal settings of an account.

    The problem is that now as soon as I turn on the computer and try any of the 3 accounts it attempts to load the personal settings, only gets as far as the wallpaer (no desktop icons) and then logs out ("saving personal settings"). I've tried restoring from an earlier point, and using the system restor off the Windows XP disk, but nothing doing.

    One good thing is that i can access windows in safe mode, but now that I'm there I don't know what to do, tbh. I really don't want to go through the bother of reinsalling windows again, so any help to avoid this is greatly appreciated.

    I have recently downloaded tenebril spyware catcher and, as I don't trust the programme, I was wondering if this could have deleted some important file (I doubt this though).

    Thanks

    Ps, i,ve just run an AV scan (avast) and it found nothing.

    i removed that programme, ranc ccleaner and it appears to be fine now. i hardly think that this was the cause of it, or it's subsequent removal the solution, but for whatever reason it's now working.

    Meh its Windoze, Whattya expect? Was going to suggest either a repair install or a reformat and re-install as that is usaully the fastest adn cleanest way to repair Windows but it looks as though you've got it sorted, for now anyway.

    Hope it stays sorted!
