login via gui

I am not too new with linux. Since I installed a new version (2011) of Mandriva, I am unable to login via the gui (I'm currently using the live version of the same dvd free with Linux Format mag). I can login from a console as it has picked up the previous version's /home, but when I try to login at the gui screen the password seems to be compressed horizontally, I get no error and the screen clears for a moment, the mouse shows a timer and then back comes the login screen. Any help would be great.

NAME
cvsmgdiff - uses mgdiff to display differences between any two cvs revisions. SYNOPSIS
cvsmgdiff [-v|-h|-g gui|-r rev1 [-r rev2]] file ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cvsmgdiff program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. This script lets you recursively diff the CVS directories you have checked out. To use, just pass in an optional revision levels and an optional file directory name. This script then will show you the differences you're interested in. OPTIONS
-v Print version information successfully -h Print help information -g gui Use the program gui as the user interface (default: /usr/bin/mgdiff) -r revision Specify the CVS revision to view. If just one -r option is given, view differences between that revision and the current file in the CVS working directory. If two -r options are given, compare those two revisions with each other. AUTHOR
cvsmgdiff appears to have been written by Paul Serice. This manual page was written by Ian Zimmerman <itz@speakeasy.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux project, but may be used by others. It was written with the assistance of pod2man(1). 3rd Berkeley Distribution Utility Scripts CVSMGDIFF(1)
