That message occurs when there is an add-in containing a macro, and the macro
has a mistake (which seems to happen more often than it should). The solution is
to identify the specific add-in (if there are more than one) and remove it.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541, specifically the section titled
"Disable the Startup folder add-ins" for instructions.
