Correct this by Going to Start-Run and type in "MSCONFIG" choose the "Startup" tab. You will get a listing a programs running at startup. Simply uncheck the uneeded programs. (You only need to have Explorer,Systray, and your virusscan running. everything else is optional) Click OK then reboot. If you find that you unchecked something you should not have.
