Did you run an antivirus or antispyware scan recently on this computer? The behavior you're describing is usually what happens when an antivirus or antispyware program identifies a file as malware, deletes the file, but doesn't clean up the mechanism that launches the malware at startup. Here's a program from Microsoft that will help you stop the error messages. AutoRuns for Windows v9.13 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspxOnce you've downloaded and extracted the files: Run autoruns.exe. Look on the Everything tab for an entry that lists tffgaohk.dll in the Image path column. Right click on that entry and select Search Online from the menu. Odds are that you'll come up with an empty search. This pretty much confirms that it was some type of malware that your scan deleted. Uncheck the item. Restart your computer. If you no longer see the error message, you can go back and delete the entry in Autoruns. Just to be on the safe side, you might consider taking steps to make sure the system is malware free.
