this. Any ideas?

Two suggestions

1. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];170086;
It applies to WindowsXP as well.

2. A few people have had the registry problem with the SB Audigy 2 entry.

If your not comfortable with directly editing the registry the following
will work if the problem is with Audigy.

Go to Program files\Creative\SBAudigy 2\program\startup Menu

There you will find Audigy.exe - double click it.

When the window opens check "Don't show me this again" and close the window.

This method removed the bogus entry in my registry without my having to edit
the registry directly.

My problem was with the SB Audigy entry and this solved the bootup problem
on my system. It my not on yours but it can
do no harm to try.
