There are many ways things to "try". If I were you, I would be tired
of trying things by now and ready to start fixing.
As you suspect, it sounds like you have a startup item that is missing
a double quote.
You could use Autoruns to find it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
If you cannot figure it out, we can look at your startup items and
help, but first we have to see your startup items. Here is one
method:
Download CCleaner, install it, run it, click Tools, Startup and drag
the columns around so all the Startup items are easy to see. I like
CCleaner for this since it shows more information in a bigger display
and has other useful functions. You can uninstall it later if you
don't use it.
Get CCleaner here:
http://www.ccleaner.com/
If you spot the afflicted Startup item, you can delete it from the
Startup list with CCleaner if you want. If you want to fix it and
don't know how, we will need to see it to tell you what to do.
If you are not sure, make a screenshot of your Startup items and post
it back here.
When you are done, you should have a screenshot similar to this:

As you can see, I have zero startup items on my system, but you have
some and one of them is a problem.
Take a screenshot of what you see and upload the screenshot to one of
several free picture hosting WWW sites.
When you are done, we will be able to see what you are seeing.
To create and post a screenshot:
Press the Print Scrn button on your keyboard to copy your entire
screen to the Windows clipboard.
Press Alt Print Scrn to copy just the active window to the Windows
clipboard.
Open MS Paint:
Start, Program Accessories, Paint
When Paint opens, press CTRL-V to paste the clipboard, save the new
Paint file to your desktop or someplace you can remember. JPG files
take up less hard disk space than BMP files and just as readable.
Make as many screenshots as you need. Practice makes perfect. Be
careful your screenshot does not contain any personal information.
Practice viewing your images before you upload them to be sure they
are okay.
Some sites (not here) will let you attach a file directly to your
post. If the site has some kind of attachment/upload function it is
usually easiest just to use it.
If there is no such function in your message board to upload files,
then use a free third party image hosting WWW site.
Create a free account on some free picture hosting web site. You can
always remove your account later if you want. Here are some free
image hosting sites:
http://www.imageshack.us/
http://photobucket.com/
Using your free account, upload your screenshot(s) (the JPG or BMP
files) to the site and it will return to you a URL web address (a
Direct Link) for your new image(s) which you can paste the Direct Link
in a message post, email, etc.
When you are done, what you post for others to use should look
something like these:
http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6428/taskmanagerr.jpg
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6969/ccleanerstartup.jpg
Post that Direct Link web address back here in your response and we
can click on the link address and see your screenshot. Post as many
as you need - the sites are free.

Thanks a lot Jose for this very detailed advice. I will study and try it. It
could take a couple of days before I come back to you again.
