Solved "welcome" message which goes on for ages

[robcap]

Hi what is happening to me is the following. After a IE freeze I did a memory test: everything OK. A system restore (in safe mode). REstored successfully. I can run it in safe mode. When I log on normally I am asked the profile and then, regardless of what I choose (admin, A or B) all I see is the "welcome" message which goes on for ages.
Any suggestion? THanks a lot

Update: it was a HD failure. HD replaced by Compaq. Honestly excellent customer service (apart from the fact the computer is again full of useless sotwares etc etc).

Good for Compaq. Yes they just can't resist giving you the gift of their branded rubbish can they? That goes for just about any brand-name PC maker.
Par for the course I guess.

I've had similar happenings here over the years.
