Hi,
OK, so it appears it's something in your Run branch in the registry. To help
find this you need to copy/paste in your reply what you have loading. To do
this open Regedit by clicking Start then in the "Start Search" box type
Regedit, you will see it appear at the top. Right click that and select Run
as Administrator. Scroll down to the following branch....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
With the Run branch highlighted select on the file menu, File_Export and
save it to your Desktop as a txt file.

All the best,
