XP Pro logs on then immediately logs off 1

[grolsch]

Hi, I'm having this problem; Windows XP pro boots as normal, then after entering the password there is a brief glimpse of my "wallpaper" before logging off. I tried "last known good configuration" got the same thing, I tried "Safe Mode" and got the same thing.
Any help or advice would be very welcome.

Thanks
