First, have alook at your autoexec.bat file in your system root. eg. C:Autoexec.bat. open it up with notepad and look for anything pertaining to Dunkins~1. **The tilda and then the number 1 is what happens when you have a filename in DOS longer then 8 characters.** when you find it, save a copy of it as autoexec.bak and then delete the entire line with the 'dunkins' in it. and then overwirte the original autoexec.bat file with the edited version you just edited. reboot and see what happens. be careful though and make sure you make that autoexec.bak backup copy so you can rename it from the command line if you run into any issues. if you delete the wrong line you could be causeing a driver not to load or something. you may want to brush up on REM statements before you do it as well. alternateivly you can choose not to execute the file on boot or troubleshoot it by clicking start then go to run and type 'msconfig' without quotes, and hit enter. that will give you the ability to select what starts and what doesn't during a boot.
