10.04 login window repeats

[Eycks]

I just installed 10.04 with windows xp in a dual boot. When I enter my Ubuntu userid and password I am returned to the Ubuntu login screen. If I boot into the Ubuntu command line I can login so my password is correct. Is there a file I need to edit?

[rikkazzo]

i have the same problem.
i installed all upgrades and reboot any time.
this morning when i start my login screen continue repeating instead of log in.
