BleepingComputer.com: Problem after disabling programs

My startup was sluggish so I disabled some of the programs, and now every time I start the computer I get the black diagnostic screen asking if I want to start in Windows XP mode or recovery. Windows actually starts before I can specify, but I'm wondering which of the disabled programs is causing this particular problem (and how to identify it), and if there is any way I can stop that screen from appearing without having to go back to the original settings?

Thanks

Try going into safe mode and undo your mistakes there

I don't think that would help until I know exactly what mistakes I made. All I did was disable some programs, so I have no idea why I'm getting the diagnostic screen at startup. I assume it's from one of the programs I disabled, but I don't know how to go about pinpointing the specific program(s) causing the problem.

Exactly how did you disable the programs?
If it was msconfig, go into safe mode and open msconfig and recheck everything

Thanks for your help. I found out that the problem was due to a wrong path in the boot.ini section, which is odd as I only
unchecked the programs I didn't want in the startup section (never even clicked in the boot.ini tab).
