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. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."

This is the exact same thing that is happening to me. I am wondering if it
has anything to do with installing and/or uninstalling Yahoo IM. I'll try the
recommended fixes. Thanks everyone for trying to help.
