most people aren't realizing that this just happens when you have a 64bit processor with a lot of programs on xp sp2, especially if you have an nvida chipset and you install the sw ide driver (you don't need it if you aren't running a raid setup)

Id say no matter what just use hijackthis on your system and remove software from your startup. Stuff like quicktime, realupdate, java, etc. Its also not a bad idea to do it just because you know what starts up everytime.
