SERVER BUSY Error at Start Up?

D

Using Windows 7.
When I start up I get a dialogue box that says SERVER BUSY This action
can not be completed because the other program is busy. I can click a
button that says "Switch" and it goes away no problem.

Can't figure out why it's there, or better yet, how to get rid of it.

Helpful input always appreciated.

thanks!

If it happens when you start your computer have a look at what's being run at start-up
with msconfig or Autoruns. It could be some sort of software update or malware etc.
Type ' msconfig ' into the Start search box.
You can disable an entry by clearing relevant box.
Autoruns shows the same information but with much more detail.
