Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

What happen you click Start >> Control panel >> User accounts and there make
click on the option for:
Change the way users Log Onor Off
Check both check boxes for :
[ ] Use welcome screen
[ ] Use fast user switching

Out and reboot your machine, does it help?
If that didn't help then I guess you have a profile corruption so try to
create a new one and test, does it work?

I clicked on the link you gave me and ran it. I then restarted my computer
and I still cannot log into the guest user once I have logged into my own
user name. Any other ideas?

When I try to switch to my guest account the desktop will not load. I tried
restarting my computer and then accessed the guest account, but when I tried
to go into my account it would not load. It seems that I can only access one
account and then have to restart to access the other one. Help me Please!
