Type "msconfig" in the Run box. Select the Startup tab and uncheck ATI smartgart from the list. Reboot PC. Next click Start,All programs,Startup to see if it's there. Delete it from the list if it's there. You can also go into the Registry to do it but use it only as a last resort because you could do lot of damage to window modifying the registry.
