Nancy,

It could a thousand things. It is possible that another application locks
him out. You have no clue what he installed.

Create a new user add to administrators group and log on to it. See if the
same happens.

Get Spybot Search & Destroy (download.com, free). After you done with your
scans, in advanced mode, en tools menu you would have Startup tool, disable
what you don't need. You must know what you disabling.

Review your event logs.

Check out what's running in Task Manager -> Processes
