system 32

[Ben]

Every time that I start my PC I get a system 32 window. It doesn't seem to
change the performance of my PC but it's annoying. I'm tired of looking at
it but I'm afraid of taking the wrong things out of the msconfig startup
menu. I tried to post a screen shot of the problem but I could not make it
work.

Any suggestions?

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 " / ."

I tried this with no luck. It tells me the script won't run because the
expected registry value wasn't found.
