After disk problem my normal user needs admin rights to logon

It all started rather harmlessly. I forgot to reattach my mouse to my
laptop which had been placed in hibernate, which caused a restart to
not function. Evidently a NTFS error was caused and logged. The mouse
was replaced and a normal start made which included a chkdsk run
repairing many problems on my C: drive. About a minute into the start a
DCOM server error is logged because of an "incorrect application
configuration".

Ever since that happened my normal user is unable to login normally.
Login starts, preferences are loaded, then suddenly a logout occurs. If
repeated the logout is immediate. I happened to give my normal user
administrator rights, and sim-sala-bim it starts normally. Withdrawing
the admin rights causes the problem again. Chkdsk shows no errors, and
I haven't been able to spot any errors with Regedit.

What is going on? Can I do something simple to get things back to
normal, or will I have to return to a previous checkpoint?

You might want to try a system restore to before the problem occurred.
