i had similar problems with my other computer except the different users would show up on the logon screen and when i clicked one of them to log on and it would but then would log off....this happened cause i tried install sp2 but it didnt install properly same thing with safe mode no go......i ended up having to reinstall windows....chances are one of the system files for windows required for the welcome/logon screen got corrupted...you may have to reinstall windows. hope this helps.
