Strange Window Opens During Bootup

For 3 or 4 weeks, I have developed a problem during bootup or restart. After the Windows XP screen and before my desktop appears, a square window appears with a few 000's at the top and an OK button. There is a close X on the top right, but it doesn't close the window and I have to click on OK to finish booting up. I can't tell any harm done, but it does interrupt my bootup process. I have booted up in Safe Mode and run Symantec Antivirus, Adaware, and Spybot without finding the culpret. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance, Don

No advice yet. I wanted to add that the window that appears has some words at the very top, but they are decapitated and I can only make out probably Windows/System32 and a .dll at the end. Hope that helps. Thanks, Don
