RE: Visual C++ Runtime Library error

"Autoruns for Windows" is a great little tool! I found the executable that's
automatically being invoked and turned it off, so at least the error emssage
will go away.

Yes, I have an earlier Record Now. I have no Norton products. Going to
veritas.com actually takes one to Symantec.com and there is no place to ask
for help with Record Now or Veritas Update Manager.

Thanks for responding. However, the suggestions did not help.

Still got the error.
-- My computer is automatically scanned daily for malware, spyware, and

updates every 3 hours. I did not believe it was necessary to do any
additional scans. I have had no malware or viruses found during the weeks
I've been seeing this error message.

I believe (although I have no proof except coincidence) that the problem is
an incompatability with my "old" version of Record Now (CD-burning software),
specifically, the function of checking for updates, and XP"s SP3. I would be
happy if someone could tell me either where to download a current,
SP3-compatible version of Record Now (which I'm afraid doesn't exist) or how
to turn off some sort of automatic check-for-updates that Record Now is
apparently doing every time my computer restarts. I don't know what Visual
C++ Runtime Library is or what it does, but it's clear that the software that
runs into problems with it is Record Now and it's only the check-for-updates
aspect of the software.

Thanks for any help.

sgtray.exe is not part of Record Now5 but it is part of backup software
belong t Veritas and you can find it bundled with Norton product because
Norton bought the company in 2005 unless you have an earlier product!
http://www.veritas.com

You can download this tool "AutoRuns for Windows"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
And remove the entry from here:

Locate this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run = look in
the right pane/window and remove the entry for it
"C\Programm Files\VERITAS Software\Update Manager\sgtray.exe "

HTH,
