Use Registry Editor to view the following two Windows registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries (such as "").

Check the startup folder on the program menu. See if there is a shortcut there for it. If so just highlight it and right click and delete. If not you will need to check the registry. Use the directions listed in the above answer

Answer 1 will solve your problem.It's a wrong entry in one of the "RUN" registry keys.
