And what does the "fail" refer to?

What does that account run at login? Not all software is able to run with
limited accounts, and you're going to have to do a little work to figure out
what is referred to.

So, what doesn't work? This message probably means that some bit of
software wants Admin rights, but isn't well-written enough to even identify
itself.

Look in msconfig, startup, to see what is loading. Then check Task Manager
and the Event Log to see what isn't loaded.

After a bit of trial and error the end result was a card reader that i had
installed. I disabled it in the start up and all is well. Thanks for the help
