This will fix the Log In / Log Out problem. This was mentioned earlier in this thread dude - on the first page.
You will need a boot disc for this - I suggest WinPE boot disc, or Hiren's boot disc. Anything that gets oyu into a reloaded version of windows. It also needs to have a registry editor on it so you can access your PC's registry. You'll need to DL this off another computer.
Open Regedit and goto: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Change Userinit back to: "Userinit"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\userinit.exe,"
