Did you install any applications just before this started happening? If so, go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall them;if not, take a look at the 'run once' entry in the registry

- START-->RUN-->type REGEDI
- goto to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnc

See if there are any entries in the right pane window. If there is, then those are the startup installs that are
giving you the problem. You could delete them but I would back up the registry before you do.
