Newly created user accounts log off immediately

Asked by agesofman in Windows Vista

Tags: , ,

I have a Vista PC which currently is running solely an admin account. It has had SP1 installed.

I want to set up a 'standard user' account so that I can implement some parental controls on my sons usage.

When I follow the normal add a new standard user account (I have tried several times, with or without a password, with or without any controls) and attempting to logon to this account, Vista briefly displays 'welcome' and then immediately displays 'logging off' and returns to account logon screen.

Enabling de facto guest account and attempting to logon to Guest account gives same behaviour.

Can anyone help with a solution or what I can check?
