Setup- But what?
The last several times I've booted, after XP Pro starts, a dialog box flashes by. It
goes so quickly I can't read anything except "Setup". Can anyone suggest a way to determine what this is? Thanks, Mike

Thanks, Mike Try Autoruns. It lists a lot of different sources of things that run automatically at startup. For example, I have a mixer panel from an old sound card, that shouldn't be loading, and by using the tick box next to that entry ("mixer.exe"), I can turn it off. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/s.../bb963902.aspx Paul

Glad to see you here. I wasn't sure anybody would survive the MS group shutdown. ;-o

I'm talking about somewhere after my AV starts, and the network is active, so it's well after the desktop is painted.
