I get no hits for "NyMcTray.dll" on Google. Are you sure the file name
isn't "Nvmctray.dll"? If it is the latter, this file creates a System
Tray icon to manage your Nvidia graphics card. It is unnecessary to have
starting with Windows and you can disable it with the System
Configuration Utility. Or uninstall your video drivers and reinstall
with the latest ones from Nvidia.

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab
and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply
and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you
do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box
that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop
processes. Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter]

It's being called from somewhere. Use msconfig as previously suggested
or Sysinternal's Autoruns to find the startup entry and disable it.
