I had this problem a few weeks ago.  As I remember, we were calling
another batch file from autoexec.bat.  We had something like
"command /c nstart.bat" in autoexec.bat.  I moved the contents of
nstart.bat into autoexec.bat and the problem went away.

You might check for something like this in your autoexec.bat.
