I run XP Home with Service Pack 2. This afternoon an automated Windows update
required me to shutdown the system, so I did that. However, something must
have gone wrong - the system shows me the log in screen, but when I type in
my usual username (admin rights) it brigns shortly a message that says it
would load my user profile data and then the next moment is says that it logs
me off again. Consequentyl I am shown the login screen again. This happens
with the second account as well (there are only tow accounts on the system).
I tried all options with safe mode etc. but it is always the same behaviour.

Can somebody please help me and give me a hint how I can at least access my
private data?

Thanks

Start up in safe mode and try logging as administrator.

If the succeeds then do a system restore to a date before touble
started.
