You have installed on a 16GB flash drive .......  is this a full install and not a LiveUSB install?

Was the install done on the same PC that you are trying to boot or on a different machine?

Have you pressed 'Esc' to see if there are any failures reported during the boot process?

The failure to log into a user account is often due to a lack of space available ...... log into the OS as root and do

df

in a terminal and copy and paste the result (including command).

Yes, it's a full install (impractical, I know, but it's handy).
Same PC
I have pressed esc, and there is nothing but green OKs and a few of the red DONEs.
I love me some Linux, but I used to think _Ubuntu was superior. That is, until after installing it on 4 machines I had to use my backup PCLinux USB to repair it 'cuz I tried a nightly build and it was @$$. Now, I keep an _Ubuntu LiveUSB key, a PCLinuxFM and Pheonix key, and a Win7 key. Just in case.

Oh yeah, I'll do that now.

UPDATE: Ok, now I can't even get to the login screen. It just shows a black screen after selecting PCLinux FM in the bootloader and it goes through booting the system, as in it gets to where it normally would, but no login screen. I press the power button, and there are random green and purple dots at the top of the screen.

How do I reset my FM login screen through the bootloader console?

Check from another OS what space remains on the USB drive .....  you might have run out of space ......

Yup... 0 bytes out of 13.5 (Main partition). Well, I think I'm gonna forget about this install and work on reviving my Full Monty 2012 USB Problems thread. I'm gonna lock this. Thanks for the help, maybe you can help me with that.
