can't switch user after 6.1 update

[Joe]

This is a resubmission.

First I am working with windows XP home edition . It has
the latest def files and has virus softwarwe running,
scans are clean, and I have xp firewall running. I
updated to msn messenger this past weekend. Now when I
try to log on I no longer get the welcome to windows.
Normaly It would open and I would get to choose between
my two user accounts. I'll call them Acct1 and Acct 2.
Now when it opens I get no choice, but get the following
small window which advises me of the following:

"This computer is in use and has been locked. Only Joe
or an account administrator can unlock this computer."
It has a slot with my name and below that a slot
for a password.

I have no password nor did I ever have a pass word.
Below that it has a selection for Ok. When I hit OK it
allows me to get on the computer, but I cannot get to my
user account, Acct 2 which has files that I can only
access by geting into that account (I have them blocked
from sharing).

I need help in getting the welcome to windows back
which allowed me to access the two accounts.

Thanks,

Joe

Have you tried posting this to one of the XP setup groups, or similar?

I tried but they suggested I try msn messenger since the
problem occured after a 6.1 update.
