Vista doesn't let me past the user account icon screen. Let me just highlight the icon / does nothing when double-clicked

My computer will start up screen that displays the icons of users.  When I double click on my icon (or any other for that matter) it only highlights the icon and does not open it.  So basically I can't get through this form and have not been able to access anything on my computer.  What could be wrong here and what do I do to fix it?

Hello

Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

Method 1:

Step 1:

Try restarting your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

Step 2:

If you can log in to safe mode, refer to the link and try to do a system restore:

Method 2:

If you are not able to connect through safe mode, I suggest you try to do a restore from WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) system and check if it helps.

Insert the installation disk to perform the WinRE .
