Every time I click on my user name my desktop screen appears for a split second then it says saving settings and goes back to the user screen.
Unfortunately when I experienced this issue not too long ago the only fix was a repair installation (also known as an in-place upgrade).

Hope this helps!
I think this is a work of a virus program. The aim here is that EXPLORER.EXE file is the one getting opened when you login. As soon as you open the file, "Log off" command goes up and u return to the same logon screen. Try this, Boot you system> keep pressing F8>choose "Safe mode">now try loggin in to the OS> if it enters, press ALT+CTRL+DEL , end the process that you feel it isnt appropriate > go to start, run , type "msconfig"> go to startup tab> and uncheck all> reboot the system..Hope this helps
