    Need more info.

    Does windows still boot ok? Do you notice ANY other problems? If it doesnt boot does it just freeze on that error? does the error appear in a windows box or is it in like in the bootup screen etc..

    Thanks

    Just thinking allowed did you delete any programs without using the uninstall tool? if so it could be trying to run a registry file not there..

    if you did..
    Start > run > msconfig

    then in the startup uncheck the box of the software you deleted.
