when windows starts up i first get this error:

Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe'. Makesure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

Secondly I get this message:
Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL
The specified module could not be found

Does anyone know how to fix these

I don't know for sure from the file names you listed, but I'd be willing to bet it's some form of malware. Given your GeekU status, I think you know what to do next...

YOu have an infection of Aurora spyware.

See here for removal instructions:

You also have remnants of newdotnet infection!

5. How can I fully uninstall the New.net plug-in?
To uninstall the application, please follow the steps below:

  1. Click on Start.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Click on Control Panel.
  4. Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
  5. Select the New.net Application.
  6. Click on the Add/Remove button.
  7. Once the program has uninstalled, click on the OK button.

After completing all of these steps, please reboot the computer. This will have removed the New.net application from your system.

The above steps will fully remove the New.net plug-in. However, the Windows operating system will retain a record that the New.net plug-in previously had been installed on your computer in "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files." This file is harmless, but can be removed by following the steps below:

  1. Click on Tools.
  2. Click on Internet Options.
  3. Under the General tab, click on the Settings button.
  4. Within the Settings window, click on the View Objects button.
  5. Within the Downloaded Program Files window, locate and delete Tldctl2c Class.
  6. Close the Downloaded Program Files window.
  7. Click on the OK button within the Settings window.
  8. Click on the OK button within the Internet Options window.
  9. Close Internet Explorer.
