winlogon.exe - Application Error

[AJS]

Hello,
I am running Windows XP Pro SP 2.
At start up I will get the following error message:

"winlogon.exe - Application Error"

In the box it says:

"The instruction at "0x0106b5a4" referenced memory at "0x0106b5a4". The
memory could not be written."
"Click on OK to terminate the program"
"Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

Clicking either "OK" or "CANCEL" will restart the computer.

Any suggestions to get rid of this?

Thanks,
AJS
