Every time I start up my Windows 7 Dell laptop, I seem to get a pop up window titled:"IMGSTART.EXE - Entry Point Not Found"

It's description is always the same: "The procedure entry point GetFileVersionInfoSizeA could not be located in the dynamic link library VERSION.dll" I always get two window pop ups of the same window but with the second being the title: "Imgicon.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
