Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and logging on that way? You might try going back to a system restore (XP feature) point if you recently installed some new program or made system changes. This will only touch OS stuff, not your data.
Can you grant the temporary account admin privileges or put it in the admin group?

Go to start menu, choose control panel the find icon for users and open. Check the status of your account. Normally a user is the administrator

Go to safe mode, then control panel and user accounts. Make sure your account is set as administrator

Strange.
If your PC is acting strangely, it's probably infected with malware. Use the link below to learn more about "malware".
Then, you need to install:
ONE Anti-virus (delete others, I use AVG free),

ONE Firewall (Zone Alarm),

and these 5 Anti-spyware tools:
Windows Defender

Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Ad-Aware 2007

Spyware Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/downloads.html
cCleaner (technically, not anti-spyware, but very useful)
http://www,ccleaner.com
I use all regularly. Download them, install them and learn how to use them (HINT: Use the Help TAB). (Need more help? Re-post.)
TIP: The apps above can only clean up so much.
As a last resort, back up all personal data from your PC (copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive) and do a Windows "Clean Install" (for instructions go to: (www.theeldergeek.com).
Note: You must use your Recovery disks, if included with your PC, to avoid driver problems, not a store-bought XP. The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual.
