If you click start, then run, and type " msconfig" without the quotes.
A window will appear. Now click on the startup tab. You can now disable any programmes that you don`t want to run on startup.
After you have finished click apply/ok and restart your computer.
After you have restarted, a dialogue box will appear saying that you have used msconfig to make changes. Tick the box that says do not show this message agains etc.
Hope this helps.
