This might help:

Run a search of your computer for nsengine.exe and see where that file 
lives. This should give you a clue as to what program is trying to start 
every time you boot the computer.

You could either uninstall the program if you don't use it, or run 
msconfig, go to the startup tab, and untick everything you don't need from 
running at startup. (Start button, Run and type msconfig).

It could possibly be some piece of malware trying to start under a false 
name, so run a full scan with whatever security software you have. Your 
security software could be killing it at bootup.

It's probably not serious, more nuisance value.
