Not enough information. How can you log into one of your accounts before you start your Mac? Be more specific on what you're doing and exactly when you get the error message. Is there anymore than "error message -5"? From the MacErrors.h file:

SlpTypeErr = -5, /*invalid queue element*/

However, I have no idea what could be causing the error. Are you hooked up to some kind of printer queue?

Thanks
Before I do what you have recommend I have below Q for you.
Why Do you recommend that link since I do not have some kind of power related issue? I simply see this -5 Error code after I log in into any of my four accounts. Then I press "OK" and continue working fine. It is just annoying to see this error.

I get this error code after freshly log in to one of my four accounts. Once I log in and log out and log in to another account without restarting I do not get this error code anymore. I am not hooked up any printer queue. And also this error message provided by Tech Tool Pro 4. After I press OK button on the error message then I can continue working. I hope I have explained clearly. Thanks already.
