    XP start-up Errors.

    As the title says.
    Happens every time, which is WELL annoying.

    Incidentally I did a search on my dads computer, which yielded a lack of 'missing' file. Wierd.

    I assume it has something to do with the fact I killed off 500+ virus infected files a couple of months ago using AVG.

    edit FYI: Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 1 (2600.xpsp2.030422-1633)

    Cheers for any help.

    Oh wait, is there any way to actually add an attachment?? Other than IMG code?? Doh!

    Okay, can I mail you the pic of the error messages? As I can't see an attachment button. I don't have any hosting facilities...

    Looks like you had a virus at some point, which has since been removed.
    Grab a copy of startupCPL, find where its being called from, and delete the entry

    Another really good startup utility is... er.... WinStartup (I think its called - http://atomnet.co.uk/?p=programs&search=startup )

    It sounds like some rogue program trying to run at startup, so removing it from the startup should fix it.

    And check your services as it could be something in there.
