vista hangs after login - seems specific to user

[Guest robr]

I did a clean install of Vista Business, it was working fine for a

while, then it started hanging about 30 seconds after I logged into

the administrator account every single time. So I booted in safe mode

and logged into administrator (it worked) and ran MSCONFIG and

disabled just about everything I could think of, then rebooted

normally and logged back into administrator. It still hung. So I

then rolled back to a previously known good config from a couple of

weeks prior, but that didn't help.

 

I had an alternate user account I had created and logged into that.

It worked!!! No more hangs..... then........ I remote desktopped in

from my wife's XP machine. I connected for a couple of minutes, the

RDP stopped responding. I went upstairs to my machine and it was

hung. I rebooted it, logged back into the second user and now

experienced the same behavior as the administrator account.

 

I'm stumped, the only way I can log into Vista now is in safe mode.

I'm now back in XP wondering how I can continue to troubleshoot this

problem.

 

Thanks for any ideas.
