Check your Startup folder and the registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mi
crosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic
rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Run
There may be something trying to run on startup that should be located at
the root of C:. Either put the file it's trying to start back there, or
delete the entries in that folder and those keys.

I had this problem on my system as well as all my mapped drives were trying
to connect twice. I'll suggest that if you can't find an answer that Google
is your friend. However to save you time, I found the solution here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=899865
I noticed when I was fixing my system, I had userinit entered twice in the
userinit key. I didn't do the second fix as the key mentioned wasn't there.
