I am helping someone with Vista Home Premium set up user accounts. When a new account is set to standard the desktop doesn’t load.
The Administrator accounts work just fine, but every time I try to load a standard user account, it takes me to a blank, blue screen. I tried waiting for hours, and when I came back it was still blank. I can open the Task Manager on this blank screen using CTRL+ALT+DEL, and it shows there are only four processes running:
csrss.exe
dwm.exe
taskmgr.exe
winlogon.exe
I have tried running explorer.exe from the task manager, but to no effect: the screen remained blank and explorer.exe never showed up on the Processes list. Also, when I try to run a process from the Task Manager, the “Browse” button doesn’t work (I can press it but it doesn’t do anything).
