Is there a card in your card reader? Or perhaps a disk in a removable
drive? Try removing them.

Good info on autoplay can be had at Kelly's site, linked below.

It sounds like one of your startup programs can't be found.
Run msconfig.exe and click the Startup tab.
Review the list of programs listed and make sure each file is listed
in the location listed.
When you find the entry that can't be found, decide if it's an important
entry
(if in doubt ask in here), if not, uncheck the box next to it's entry.
