Dana,

Have you tried to view the various startup keys in the registry using
MSCONFIG? I would start there and attempt to find anything that looks
out of the ordinary.

Furthermore, a fantastic tool to help out would be Autoruns by
SysInternals. This will give you a more granular view of the various
startup routines in Windows and help you dig down to the bottom of the
issue.

Good luck.
