Windows logs me off as soon as I try to logon

I have an awkward problem with my laptop (A dell Inspiron 8200).
The other day I installed Winamp and updated the driver for the Alps
touchpad and following the reboot windows stopped letting me login. What
happens is this: I get to the welcome screen and login as usual then
following entry of the Username and password the Logging off screen appears
with the logging off music and I am returned to the welcome screen.
Now I have found the same symptoms attributed to the effect of removing some
spyware and the corruption of the userinit registry entry but in this case
it doesn't seem to be the problem. Note: I am able to login to safe mode
(which is how I am using the pc at the moment).
I have attempted a repair installation of windows which went fine but
unfortunately didn't fix the problem, I have added a new user (didn't fix it
either) I have removed the app I had installed (Winamp) and I have replaced
the Alps touchpad driver with the latest version (I haven't, however gone
back to the original). I have performed a system restore to a point prior to
the problem. I have also disabled apps that run on login (except userinit
and explorer.exe as I figured they were kind of essential) My machine had
been free of viruses and spyware to the best of my knowledge.
So I am at the point of reformatting the HD and reinstalling everything
which I I'd frankly rather not do. Does anyone have any useful suggestions
as to what else I could attempt before doing this?
Thanks in advance
