Thank you. I appreciate your help, but this makes it very confusing, I do not
know anything I am looking for. These sites are helpful I am sure, when you
know what at least, you are looking for.

Is there not a site that is created to help someone who is not a computer wiz?

Hi Danielle,

One of the startup applications/script is probably causing the Script Error at startup. These links explain how to manage the startup applications in Windows. Visit the link #1 I posted earlier and you'll know exactly how to isolate the problem.
