Have a toshiba laptop with XP Home (No service packs)
Whenever user logs in (by clicking their name, no password, only account on
the system besides administrator) It says Loading Personal Settings, screen
flashes for a second, then displays "Saving your settings..." then brings
you back to Welcome screen.
Booted to safe mode. Both Administrator account and user's account do the
same thing in safe mode.

Any ideas?
