on the desktop.

Check the registry setting.
Start>Run>Regedit>ok
now navigate to the following key:-
HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Look down the list in the Right Hand pane,scroll down to the value Userinit
This value should read: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, (The comma at
the end must also be there)
If the value is different from that mentioned above then Right Click on
the Userinit value and, from the drop down menu, select Modify.
Type in the value C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,in the Modify
dialogue box
click OK and then Exit the Registry.Restart your computer.
