I will be waiting for an answer to your post. The same thing is happening to me and it's driving me nuts!!!

See if  this information from Denny Denham helps.

here is what worked for me after an afternoon waiting on the phone, finally taking to somoene after an hour and fifteen minutes - another half hour and no result dell advised me to go under msconfig - startup and unchecck everything.  then check one  - restart check another - restart until it came back.  what rinally resolved it was unchecking the l:eng AND the msmgs box. I had two msmgs boxes and it was the one in small case. I also had to go to start, programs, soundblaster, welcome and check "don't display" box  -  now the windows system 32 box dosent' come up anymore.
