u have to upgrade msn 6.2 as it has the .pif security hole.
u can uninstall windows messenger or disable it from running at startup.
vtruck.exe? if that isnt a needed system file maybe you could uninstall it from add/remove programs or delete some registry telling the computer to find it from the cd at startup ....(BE CAREFUL WITH THE REGISTRY)

Try reseting the resolution back and see if the preblem still occurs

Look in the start up folder in the start menu for a program called virtual truck, if its there then delete the shortcut to it. Other wise check in these registary keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
