EDIT: home screen loads up after awhile, but still not sure why message comes up

I am having problems with vista on my laptop. when I click on my user name and log in, it says loading and then the screen goes black. A message comes up saying setting up personalized settings rundll32.exe iedkcs32 brandie4 signup. I have looked on the internet and it seams that this is something to do with internet explorer. Any ideas.
Come on you Irons

    Is there a message in the corner which says something to the effect of "Could not log into user profile, a temporary profile has been used"?

    If it's setting up personalised settings each time, that sounds a little like a broken user profile
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    It seems to have gone now. Just logged on and it went straight to home screen. No message this time
