Windows keeps logging off by itself... (UAC issue?)

[cuemasterfl]

When I click on the username, it says "Welcome" and then immediately logs off. I am pretty sure it's because I changed the UAC settings to the third highest setting from the bottom setting earlier, as the problem didn't occur prior to this. I can't get into Windows and I need to urgently.

Is there a USB boot tool I could use?

TIA!

first i have ever heard of that one! I would maybe see if safe mode could log in and fix it

If you just need to get online or get some files off the computer, boot with a linux live cd or usb.

What I ended up doing was finding a website that showed me how to replace the sticky keys program (which appears when you press shift 5 times) with a command prompt. Once there I was able to enable the admin account, sign on as admin, turn off UAC, and now I can get into the computer normally. Thanks for the replies.

I've seen that happen with corrupted profiles.
Create new account. Turn UAC back to high.
Try logging on with new account and see if issue persists.

If you wanted to test the corrupted profile theory, anyway.
