I think it is a dll for Windows Telephony program.. Delete the program if you don't use it, download Ccleaner and run the registry cleaner, restart the computer and the error messages should be gone. If you need the program reinstall it.
This legitamit Windows file is locked by Windows you cannot delete it normally (not that I would anyway)
tapi32.dll or tapi32 process info for Microsoft Windows Telephony API Client DLL
Fax software add-in might be interfering.
Malware could be involved
System Files could be corrupt
Firstly try removing any recent fax or Dial-up software
Next have a look at: UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions
Lastly try running SFC /Scannow to confirm all Windows files are intact (note 1 space after SFC)

You have 35 Windows startups (these are the #04 entries)
You have a further 20 Services startups (these are the #023 entries)
All up you have 55 Windows startups happening!
Try this:
Run Startup Control Panel and remove any not required startups: (should be most, if not all), to check if it still happens
You may also place Windows in Diagnostic Mode (instead of downloading and running Startup Control Panel) This can be done by running MSConfig, and then selecting "Diagnostic Startup"
Restart
If the fault has gone, then begin to turn back on a few at a time, until through the process of elimination, you locate the offending startup (restarting each time to confirm)
Note: I did not go through your HJT log in fine detail, because it's just too big.
Also I prefer free Avira AntiVirus with its one startup, you might want to consider removing Trend (I would)

I finally got the SFC /scannow to work by first disabling the UAC by going into the regedit, make a registries backup and updating the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA to 0.
I then ran the SFC which corrected the WINMM.dll problem.
