Hello whoatroubles,
Do this and lets see what you have in your startup;
Click Start> Run> type in Msconfig tap enter key.
Now look in the Startup listings.
Can you post what all is in there with a check mark?

Hi TDTate,
Is this what you need? I couldn't get this to copy paste so I hand typed it in. There are extended descriptions on each one of these but I thought you could look these over first and then I will submit the descriptions as you request. Please let me know what you see. Thanks, Jim.

Another thing you can check on is using ALT/CTRL/DEL and see what's running there, for any starnge items.
See if that helps.
