generally caused by a virus or spyware
answer here :
there is quite a lot of ppl with this problem with many diff software.

there is a number of solutions there.
generally it happens when there is a problem with autoexec.nt being corrupt it seems.
i think the only definate solution is to reinstall XP :/
the file can get corrupted by viri and i think also spyware as some ppl's spybot keep deleting the file.
