Re: system 32

Every time that I start my PC I get a system 32 window. It doesn't seem to change the performance of my PC but it's annoying. I'm tired of looking at it but I'm afraid of taking the wrong things out of the msconfig startup menu. I tried to post a screen shot of the problem but I could not make it work.

Any suggestions?




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 " / ."
