Welcome to DaniWeb !

Start your computer, before Windows boot-up press the key F8 to bring up the Windows Startup Menu and select 'Last known good configuration'.
If this trick doesn't work then try the same step but choose the 'Safe Mode' may it helps you..

Let me know what happens..

Regards..

This sort of account error happens to me at least once every 15 months. The only way I know of around it is to load up the computer in a different account and create a new user account. So when you go into 'safe mode' (as described above), you then select the account named 'Administrator'. Select the 'Administrator' account and create a new account. To create a new account, click Start --> Control panel --> User Accounts.
Then a new window will open. Then click the text saying 'create new user account' and follow the prompts. After that, move all your files from your old account to the new account. This can be done through explorer. To load it press 'windows hot key + e'. Then you should see on the left a folder for each account. Just cut and past the files from the old account to the new. Then reboot the computer like you normally would but select the new account. You will need the go through a few wizards since it has just been set up. And your problem should be solved.

NOTE: This only works if you are able to load at least one administrator account and that it is only one account messing up.

Hi
When you open task manager>file>new task and type explorer can you then work without the interface crashing on you again. if it fails you again then youre most likely infected with a virus. if task manager allows you to work go to system properties>advance>user profile settings and see if theres atleast one profile
