Almost every time I've seen that happening it was caused by a mapped network drive that was unavailable, for whatever reason. Another one was floppy drive being enabled in the BIOS setup, but not actually present in the computer.
Simply put, once "My Computer" opens, look for drive letters associated with anything that isn't working or doesn't contain media (e.g. flash card readers). Try to remove or disable those things. It will probably turn out to be something like that.
