jcortes, If you have a Dell Dimension system having
a factory installed Creative Labs Audigy2 sound card try this:
Open the MSCONFIG utility (Start/Run type in MSCONFIG click OK) and deselect (uncheck) the /l:ENG entry from
the STARTUP tab, click Apply, click OK and restart your computer.

The link below expains the /l:ENG entry.

The Dell Patch which fixes this problem is available to download at the link below.

If none of the previous suggestions solve the problem go to the link below and download & run the "System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot" Fix. It's Number 260 in the right side column. It has worked for others.
