RE install 2009.1 and getting "could not start

I did a forum search and found a few things I will try when I get home but let me lay out the details.

 

AMD Quad Core 2.8 4GB ram 2 500GB drive 1 1.5 TB drive. I had a 320GB drive as my boot device but that went bad, so one of the 500's is now taking its place.

 

/home is on a seperate partition.

 

when I went to reinstall 2009.1 I started with a new user.

 

New user logs into KDE4 just fine.

 

While in as the new user I "create" the old user account. All the old info, down to the desktop icons are still available fr the old user account.

 

Reboot, try and log in with the old user and I get that error: n"Can not Start KSTARTUPCONFIG4.

 

I press OK and it takes me back to the login prompt.

 

I tried to logni with ICEWM an nothing comes up, not even the login prompt .

 

so before I went to work I started to install XFCE , we'll see if that works.

 

I am quite sure there MUST be a brute way to get KDE4 to work, I just cant think of any.

 

So I'm open for ALL ideas!

 

Thanks
