Hi, download http://www.mlin.net/files/StartupCPL_EXE.zip and then disable it from starting on startup..check every option 'Startup (user)' Startup (common), 'HLKM/Run', 'HKCU/Run', 'Run Once'...after disabling it, restart your computer. Then follow these any one of the following links:-

Thank you but how do I disable it on startup?
All options are already checked. 'Startup (user)' has 1 item which is checked
Startup (common), has 3 items all of which are checked
'HLKM/Run', has all 18 items checked
'HKCU/Run', has its 2 items checked
'Run Once'. has nothing in it
