Runtime Error

[weisskid]

At bootup I always get the error message: MS Visual C++
Runtime Library". This program has required that it be
shut down in an unusual way. The referenced program is
C:\Program Files\Common Files\updmgr.exe

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de
and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.

That is some third party program wanting to go look for updates
automatically. Best if you can identify which: a right click on the
file, take Properties and Version should give a clue. Then use the
options of the program itself to turn off automatic updating. If you
can't identify it, then Start - Run and run MSConfig
Look on the Startup page for a line that has this Command and uncheck
it.

Exit - don't bother to reboot immediately, but next time you do there
will be a message about 'Troubleshooting'. Check the 'do not show
again' box and exit
