Disabling the startup items are not recommend, and it will not fix your problem. Sure it will stop the error from coming up when you start your computer, but if you ever try to open what ever program that is, it will show the error again. What I would do is this....

• Click Start, then Run
• Type MsConfig
• Click on the "Selective Startup" dot and make sure that the following is selected....(For XP Home/Pro)
  -Process SYSTEM.INI file
  -Process WIN.INI File
  -Load System Services
  -Load Startup Items
  -Use Original BOOT.INI
• Then Click on the "Start Up" Tab on the top of the menu
• Uncheck all Personal Programs that you see (things you have installed)
• Press "APPLY", "OK", and "YES" to restart your computer.

If this doesn't work PM me and we will fix is....
