There is probably a damaged startup registry entry for something in Program
Files\Common Files.

Information by Bruce Chambers:

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by an
incomplete program removal, in the:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.

Also see this page by MVP Ramesh. Even though he references Dell, the
concept is the same for non-Dell machines:
