winlogon.exe error on startup

Hello, Every time I start up my computer after about 15-20 seconds later (after windows finishes loading) an error message pops up: "winlogon.exe has generated errors and will be shut down by windows, you will have to restart the program." well the computer works fine even though it crashed and closed. So I bring up the processes list (ctrl-alt-del > processes) and there is winlogon.exe running... Even though I didn't restart it. There is no blue screen of death when I get the error, just a little program error window. I don't have a virus as I keep my antivirus software up to date. So, what is going on? Is there something I can do to make it stop crashing?This happens every time I boot up. I'm running win2k sp2 and I have 512 megs of ram. good amount of remaining resources. Your help is appreciated.
