Endless Loop logging into users profile on MAC OSX Snow Leopard

Trying to log into 1 users profile on MAC Snow Leopard. Login goes to her desktop then bluescreens and goes back to login prompt. Booted into safe boot and same thing happens. Does not happen with any of the other profiles on the machine. Ran permission repair, disk repair and nothing seems to correct the problem. Nothing has been found in crash logs.

Have you tried using the installation CD to do a repair file permissions? It may not matter, I just remember reading that it doesn't work correctly if you use it while booted into the start-up disk.

Here is a page that may offer an answer, it goes into a little more detail about using the OS CD for disk utilities.http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417

Try logging on as a different user on the same machine and then switch to the account with the problem (make sure Fast User Switching is enabled. Apple Symbol > System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options > Fast User Switching). Then if it kicks you off, log back onto the account you were just on and check the system.log in the Console app (Applications>Utilities>Console). Post that up.
