Oops I brain farted there. I was secretly hoping "please not XP Home". You need Safe Mode to try to check the file permissions.

But so basically, your regular user account reboots after getting to the desktop but the Administrator account doesn't?

Also you did do a repair install but it did not solve your problem?
