Windows - System Error: object name already exists

[tech4ultimate]

I keep getting this system error whenever i boot my PC.

[highlight]WINDOWS - SYSTEM ERROR: object name already exists[/highlight]

PC is running WinXP-home edition.
I checked the event log and it gives the following:
Soutce:Application Popup
EventID:26
Category:None

Can anyone give an idea of where to start in trying to solve this problem?

Regards.

Solution
If a key container is not necessary for this operation, use containerless mode by passing an empty string as the container name, like this:
Set Context = CM.OpenContext("", True)

In general, a key container is only necessary for operations involving certificate-based encryption with public and private keys. A key container is not necessary for symmetric encryption or hashing operations.

If a key container is necessary, this error occurs due to the lack of permissions on your key containers. Key containers are stored in the system registry on Windows NT and in the file system on Windows 2000 and later.

Windows 2000 and higher:

Change the permissions to the Machinekeys directory and the keys to allow the Everyone account to have full control. To do this, perform the following steps:

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory
\Documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\Machinekeys

Note: These are hidden files and you may have to adjust Windows Explorer view settings to see them.

Click the Security tab and grant Everyone Full Control.

If the problem persists, try a different key container name.

This link talks about Scheduled Tasks or a couple of disabled Services as a possible cause?
