Error messages at startup

When Vista starts, right after the Desktop initializes, an error box appears on screen for about 1/10 second?  Since it appears so briefly, I can't read it.  Are these messages store somewhere so I can go find them, or is there a way to alter startup so the message stays on screen?

I`m afraid I don`t know any way to do that.
 
Have a look in msconfig and disable everything not needed to startup every time you boot.  It could be something in there
 
1. Click on the Vista start icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
 
2. Type MSCONFIG in the search box and then either press enter on your keyboard or double-click on the MSCONFIG program that appears in the search results.
 
3. Vista will ask you for permission to continue. You may see a box asking you to key in your computer's administrator user name and password.
Or, if you're already logged into Vista as an administrator, you may see a box asking you if you would like to continue.
Either way, follow the on-screen prompts to give Vista permission to continue.
 
4. Microsoft's System Configuration Utility will launch.
Click on the Startup tab.
Keep the page open then go to link below.
 
 
Read the Key at top of page. Use the Search box to check all your entries.

It will tell you what all the entries are and whether you can disable them or not. It will also identify any malware. Disable everything which is not needed to run at start up
 
When you reboot you will get a message saying you have started in "Selective Startup"  Click "Don`t show this message again" then OK
