How did you stop them?
 
This is what I did. click on the balloon, click on run program, if I am
right it will be the window you receive after running "msconfig" check don't
show this again and all should stop....but I could be wrong.
 
Couple of things might work:
Go to start menu/ run/in the run box type: msconfig/ go to the startup tab
and uncheck the item that is causing the problem. Then this item will not
start when the computer starts.

Also,
you can remove the program from the startup process by using Software
Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click the Blocked startup programs icon that is in the notification area.
2. Click Show or remove blocked startup programs. This starts Software
Explorer in Windows Defender.
3. Locate, and then click to select the startup program or the startup
service that is in Software Explorer.
4. Click Remove, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

Yes it is trying to display the message that you are in trouble shooting
mode or something like that. If you click do n;ot show again it should stop
since it won;t try starting up again.

You would think MS knows what that program is doing and not bother you but
then again this is VISTA
