SMTP running? The #10084 or 10048? You could start stopping services that
you don't need until this message disappears?

Also, I'd check for spyware. SPybot (google for it) is a great place to

"Another possible reason for this problem could be the presence of two
entries in msconfig for shellapi.exe trying to run at the same time.
shellapi.exe is actually a Trojan Horse and often cause this problem. You
can delete this file from DOS located in C Windows\ system. Now after
deleting this file you will notice errors in your Graphic adapter driver.
Uninstall the Graphic adapter driver and then reinstall it afresh again and
this will solve your problem."
