If you're going to play with the startup options, I suggest you use a
utility made for the purpose.  Some drivers start in more than one
place in the registry.  I suggest Starup Inspector for Windoze:
|  http://www.WindowsStartup.com
This is especially useful as the MSCONFIG program supplies with XP
does not allow one to resize the window making it difficult to see
what is happening.

Also, there are installations that leave considerable junk behind in
temporary files that interfere with susequent attempts at
reinstallation.  Programs that drop read-only temporary files or
read-only directories during startup are the major culprits.  For
these, I use one of the disk cleanup utilities such as:
|  http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup/
There are more powerful and elaborate programs available, which will
clean out unused registry entries, unreferenced DLL's, and uninstalled
program registry entries.  These must be used very carefully to avoid
a trashout and are overkill for simple cleaup tasks.  (Make sure you
have the sound enabled when you run CLEANUP40.  Heh-heh.)
