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 " / ."

message news How can i stop this from opening up when i turn my computer on?? Run msconfig.exe to look at your startup items. Maybe one of them got truncated so only a path is listed and the filename of the executable to run is missing. Could be there are spaces in the path & filename and the installer didn't bother to enclosed the string within double quotes. You could disable the item, reboot, and check if the problem continues. -- __________________________________________________ __________ Post your replies to the newsgroup. Share with others.

Hi,
Please see: System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086 Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. It comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, and it can cause this problem as well. If it exists, use the registry fix from MVP Kelly: Line 260 on the right: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm It's far easier than mucking about in the registry. The problem can also be caused by other incorrectly built registry strings. So, if the first two steps don't help you, could you please export and post the contents of these keys in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for examination. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "brnyrdcommando" wrote in message news How can i stop this from opening up when i turn my computer on?? |
