Answer

start button then run

in the box type msconfig then run/ok

you will get a configuration utility

look in the tab startup

uncheck any boxes that match the error you are getting.

you can pretty much uncheck anything that looks funny. like just numbers leave anything that you reckognize and want. the command line will show what folder it is in so if you see something from /program/files/norton for example you can be pretty sure it is part of norton program if you have it installed etc

then go to services. hit the hide all microsoft services check box anything left you can uncheck if you dont reckognize and want it.

 

if you keep track of what you unchecked you can always go back and recheck them if a program you want needs it. but when in doubt leave it and you wont have to worry much.
