Take a look in the event log. (START->SETTINGS->CONTROL
PANEL->ADMIN TOOLS->EVENT VIEWER->APPLICATION LOG)

Are there any red ones with the source: USERENV ?
If so, open one, and let me know the message. I just fixed
the problem on PC the other day.

If not, it could be:
*hardware
*or (SOMETIMES) too much disk space in your user profile
directory (eg my documents, desktop...), but before
changing these, let me know about the above idea first :)
