my Profile wont start

Help, My personal profile on my computer wont open. All the others work fine. When opening my profile it will just go to a blue screen and then back to the user login screen. I am using mac OS 10.2. Is there anyway to cure this problem?

Log into another (admin) user (if you have one). Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. Type this:

sudo mv /Users/your_short_username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist /Users/your_short_username/Desktop/


I put it in code tags because it's one very long line. Naturally, replace "your_short_username" with your short username.

Logout and try logging in as your normal user.
