MCSTRM service failed to start...

The MCSTRM service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

I find this error message in my pc's event viewer. I've read the other
threads, but not one explains how to correct the problem.

My pc completely freezes and it must be rebooted.

How do I stop this from happening?

Thank you.

I don't know what "other threads" you mean, but a quick Google for "MCSTRM
service" shows that this is connected with the Real Rhapsody software.
There are quite a few links resulting from that Google search showing what
to do. Here's just one example:

If you don't use Rhapsody (which comes preinstalled on many OEM computers),
I'd just uninstall it rather than mess with it.
