If it were my system I would just 'fix' it and see how things went:
Code:
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe

safe, but not necessary, so it should be safe to get rid of it.
Oh, BTW Chris - you can safely turn off the QuickTime qttask & NeroCheck entries via the startup tab in msconfig, they're safe but not needed.
