System32

[[email protected]]

Everytime my computer boots up, the system32 always pops up on the screen I
didn't used to see it before and I started seing it recently. Why is that and
how can I remedy it ? Thank you

Try this:

Click on Start / Run and type in msconfig

Click on the last tab called STARTUP and go through there and see if its
listed, if so uncheck it and click ok and select REBOOT. After a reboot you
will get a windows that says something like a system change has happened blah
blah blah check the box and click ok or close....

GOOD LUCK

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by
an incomplete program removal, in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."
