When I turn on my computer a full screen comes on (not a small pop up message), titled "COMMON" In the Address Bar the address is shown as:

C:\I386\ASMS\6000\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON

There is a folder shown in the main body labeled Common.

I do not know why this screen shows each time I turn on the computer and don't know what it means. I "X" it out and continue on my way, but it is annoying.

Would appreciate any solution to this problem. I do not recall doing anything that would have created this.

Thanks.....ron
Look for a reference to that folder in Msconfig's StartUp tab, or run Regedit and look for references to that folder. There should be a Run entry that's got a damaged command line to a file in that folder. They're easy to find, but it's hard to explain..

Look in the Start Menu's Startup folder and see if it's there.

Run Regedit again, press Home key, press F3, type ASMS\6000\MSFT\WINDOWS\COMMON and search for that portion.

Run sysedit and see if the path is mentioned in anything there.
