Hi Susan,

No, that wasn't the same one. The Security Center is added as part of
Service Pack2 and would be near the bottom of the list. Let's do this
instead:

In msconfig, go to the general tab. Go to selective startup, uncheck the
line to "Load Startup Items", click apply/ok and reboot. See if this
resolves it. If it does not, go back and disable the line to "Load System
Services" and repeat. Post back once you know which group is causing it.
