i posted this in another thread:
i got this error message while the start-up programs are loading:

"Exporer has caused an error in
MSNIMK.GIF
Explorer will now close

If you continue having problems,
try restarting your computer."

when i close the error window, all the icons on the desktop dissapear.

i ran Spybot and deleted the red entries, but it didn't seem to work

here's the HijackThis log file:
