parsing error

One thing you might try is asking someone locally to look at your system with
the autoruns utility.

OK, typed in msconfig and found the tab. Looked at all the entries. Don't
see anything that looks like it's from PopCap. Don't see anything that looks
like it shouldn't be there. Did try to remove the program again and received
'fatal error' message, once again something about parsing.

The easiest is MSCONFIG (from start/run line) The startup tab has checks to
take out.

I downloaded Autoruns. Remember up above when I mentioned that I know very
little about a computer? I don't know what to take out and what to leave in.
Some of those things I've never seen before. I'm afraid to do anything for
fear I'll do it wrong and then the computer will be screwed up worse than
before. Is there anything more simple?

A parsing error is saying that some command line running automatically in
your system is not a correct 'syntax' (or 'right way to say something')
Although it is a bit hard to use, this app will let you go thru all the apps
running automatically in your system, and remove those things you recognize
as the parts of that thing you took out that still trying to run.

AutoRuns for Windows v8.61:

There are other utilities that also do this, and you might try one of those,
if you don't like Autoruns, but something like this will solve the relic
parsing error.

This morning I tried to remove an unwanted program; I received a "Fatal
Error" message, something about 'parsing error.' I don't know what that
means. I don't know how to remove the program if "add/remove" won't do it.
My knowledge of a computer and its works is very basic. Can someone explain:
parsing, parsing error, how to get rid of the program easily (and please
don't suggest that I visit the Geek squad; those people know less than I do)
Thanks
