Active x error

Where exactly in the boot sequence are you getting the error?

The computer completely boots up and my desktop comes up then the error message comes up.  I x it out and its business as usual.  It isn't affecting my ability to do anything, but the darned thing is annoying and it just came out of the blue.

You must have something loading on start-up that uses activex that is having problems. Look in administrative tools in control panel then event viewer, look under "application" and "system" for error messages sometimes you can get a little more information there as to what application is causing the problem. If not you can take some things out of start-up (one at a time) until the problems stops then you have your troublemaker.
