A friend of mine just bought a new Dell, running Windows Vista. He keeps getting this blank dialog box when he boots up. I tried CTRL/ALT/DEL and clicked on "processes," closed the first process and the box went away, but came back when he re-booted. How do I get this out of the start menu in Vista? -- that's a whole new ball game to me! Joyce in SE Ohio "Hold No Punches.."
